This dataset features data for a number of key variables on industry including value added, turnover, operating surplus, employment, and the number of business units broken down by 4-digit International Standard of Industrial Classification (ISIC Revision 4) industry groups, including the service sector, and by employment size class.
In the OECD Entrepreneurship Financing Database venture capital is made up of the sum of early stage (including pre-seed, seed, start-up and other early stage) and later stage venture capital. As there are no harmonised definitions of venture capital stages across venture capital associations and other data providers, original data have been re-aggregated to fit the OECD classification of venture capital by stages. Korea, New Zealand, the Russian Federation and South Africa do not provide breakdowns of venture capital by stage that would allow meaningful international comparisons.
