SMEs and the Digital Divide — Why Uquid API Changes the Game
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the real heartbeat of the global economy. Yet, while they represent approximately 90% of businesses and account for over 50% of employment worldwide, many remain excluded from the booming digital and Web3 economies due to connectivity, infrastructure, and cost barriers.
The Digital Gap Facing SMEs
Despite being marketplaces for innovation and opportunity, SMEs are struggling to go digital:
- A Shopify study found that while 96% of SMEs see technology as vital to expansion, 44% cite high costs and 30% are uncertain about ROI, blocking adoption.
- OECD reports highlight that SMEs still face uneven digital infrastructure and critical gaps in digital skills — especially in remote and underserved regions.
- According to the World Economic Forum, 67% of SMEs worldwide are fighting for survival amid economic pressures. Web3 tools can be part of the solution — but access remains limited.
