Software Industry Survey

Logo

The Software Industry Survey is an annual, for-the-public scientific survey about the size, composition, current state and future of the software industry and companies in Europe with origin in Finland.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

The survey organization is led (in 2010 and 2011

Tekes) and the Finnish Ministry of Trade and Industry.^[1] The 2011 Finnish survey received responses from 506 participants which is a bit smaller than 2010 due to more strict selection criteria.^[4] Surveys analysing the industry in other European countries than Finland are run by research partners.^[7] In 2011 the survey was implemented in Austria and Germany.^[2]

The published reports by the survey group cover current economic impacts on the software industry (like the

crises in 2009/2010 or Nokia’s changes for its mobile platform in 2011) on roughly 100 pages. Starting with the 2009 report, all included images and tables can be re-used under the free Creative Commons Attribution license version 3.0.^[8]

Apart from these reports, the survey's data is used as input for various scientific studies based on the collected data.[9] Results are also used by media companies like newspapers as source for news articles.^[10]
