European Monitor of Industrial Ecosystems (EMI) Data Dashboard
The EMI Data Dashboard offers an overview of the data collected within the EMI project for several indicators used to measure the progress of the green and digital transitions across the 14 industrial ecosystems on a yearly basis. This dashboard provides a clear and interactive visualisation of data under three dimensions of the twin transition: impact, efforts, and enabling framework conditions. Each dimension includes various indicators detailed in the section below.
When using the EMI Data Dashboard, please note that manufacturing and service-based industrial ecosystems are not directly comparable. For best use, we recommend only using comparisons within the same type of ecosystem. Additionally, please note that data for some industrial ecosystems is not available for some indicators.
This dimension measures the outcomes of the transition across industrial ecosystems. Currently, it includes indicators for environmental impact, highlighting the changes and benefits resulting from the transition.
- Environmental Impact Indicators
- Biodiversity (damage to the ecosystem) (Index PDFm²yr)
- Blue water use (Million cubic meters (Mm³))
- GHG emissions (Megatons)
- Land use (KM²)
- Materials extraction (used & unused) (Megatons)
- Particulate Matter (PMx) emissions (Megatons)
This dimension tracks the initiatives and investments made by each industrial ecosystem to adopt and promote green and digital technologies. It covers technology adoption rates, start-up and scale-up trends, and financial investments to drive the twin transition.
- Transition Efforts Indicators
- Companies adopting digital and green technologies (share in total companies)
- Companies adopting circular business models (only for green transition)
- Number of newly created technology startups generating twin transition technologies per industrial ecosystem
- Number of tech scaleups (startups that have scaled up, also defined as young fast-growing companies 10 years old or younger that have received at least €1 million within the past 10 years) compared to total number of start-ups per industrial ecosystem
- Volume of venture capital and private equity invested in digital and green tech companies per industrial ecosystem
This dimension assesses the support structures and resources available to foster the green and digital transition. It includes the availability of funding, skills, and public funding that create a conducive environment for the transition.
- Enabling Framework Conditions Indicators:
- Patent applications in digital and green technologies per industrial ecosystem (number)
- EU R&D funding in digital and green transitions per industrial ecosystem (value of total funding in million EUR)
- ERDF funding in digital and green transition per industrial ecosystem (million EUR)
- Professionals with digital and green transition-related skills employed in each industrial ecosystem (share in total number of professionals)
- Job advertisements with requirements for digital and green transition-related skills per industrial ecosystem (share in total number of job advertisements)
For more information about the methodology and list of indicators used for all the analyses, please consult our Methodological report Methodological report.
Biodiversity loss (damage to the ecosystem)
Damage to Ecosystem Quality caused by ecotoxic emissions. This measures the number of Potentially Disappeared Fraction of species (PDF) on a square meter (m²) during a year. The estimate comes from the Exiobase 3.8.2 consumption-based account, estimating the damage as a consequence of the ecosystem's complex international supply chain.
Blue water use (Million cubic meters)
Blue water consumption is water sourced from surface or groundwater resources incorporated into a good, used for a service, or returned to another source after the good or service has been produced. The annual volume in million cubic meters comes from the Exiobase 3.8.2 consumption-based account.
Capital investment in the green and digital transition
The data indicates the capital expenditure of companies into greenfield investments of each industrial ecosystem.
Companies adopting circular business models
Measures the percentage of companies that have adopted circular business models, focusing on reducing waste and reusing resources within the context of green transitions.
Companies adopting digital and green technologies
The data is based on a business survey and indicates the share of companies that stated they have adopted green and digital technologies.
Competitiveness
Assesses the ability of industries to compete effectively in the market, often linked to their adoption of digital technologies and innovative practices.
Count of job advertisements with requirements for digital and green transition skills per industrial ecosystem
Represents an online job advertisements analysis that tallies advertisements requiring digital and green transition skills within specific industrial ecosystems.
Count of professionals with digital and green transition skills employed in industrial ecosystems
Refers to the quantification of professionals possessing both digital and green transition skills and currently engaged within distinct industrial ecosystems. The count is derived from LinkedIn, showcasing the supply of skilled professionals proficient in both digital and green transition skills.
Count of twin transition public procurement notices
Measures the number of public procurement notices aligning with both green and digital transitions. This data is sourced from Tenders Electronic Daily, an online platform for European public procurement.
Digital intensity
Measures the extent to which digital technologies are integrated into industrial processes and operations.
ERDF funding in digital and green transition per industrial ecosystem
Tracks the amount of funding from the European Regional Development Fund allocated to digital and green transition initiatives within each industrial ecosystem.
EU R&D funding in digital and green transitions per industrial ecosystem
Measures how much money the European Union provides for research and development projects promoting digital and environmentally friendly changes within specific industries. This information is gathered from the CORDIS database, detailing participants, projects, and results funded by the EU.
GHG emissions (Megatons)
Measures the total emissions of greenhouse gases, expressed in megatons of CO₂ equivalent, released into the atmosphere by industrial activities. The estimates come from Exiobase 3.8.2 consumption-based account.
Job advertisements with requirements for digital and green transition skills per industrial ecosystem (share)
Measures the percentage of job advertisements within industrial ecosystems that specify requirements for digital and green transition skills.
Land use (KM²)
Land use as inputs to be used by the ecosystem, regardless of whether they were used or not. The annual amount of land use is estimated from the Exiobase 3.8.2 consumption-based account, estimating the land use as a consequence of the ecosystem's complex international supply chain.
Materials extraction (used & unused) (Megatons)
Materials extraction used and unused in kilotons - inputs from the natural environment intended for use in the economy, regardless of whether they were used. The estimate comes from the Exiobase 3.8.2 consumption-based account.
Number of newly created technology startups generating twin transition technologies
Counts the number of newly established startups developing technologies supporting both green and digital transitions.
Number of tech scaleups in industrial ecosystems
Refers to the number of young, fast-growing companies (10 years old or younger) that have received at least €1 million in funding within the past 10 years and are contributing to the twin transitions.
Particulate matter emissions (Megatons)
Particulate matter consists of a mixture of droplets smaller than 2.5 micrometers and 10 micrometers emitted locally by various sources. The annual volume in megatons comes from the Exiobase 3.8.2 consumption-based account.
