Registration open for European Statistics Awards - Web Intelligence until 22 Apr 2025!
Multinational enterprise (MNE) groups play a major role in the European economy. In all EU and EFTA countries, they contribute substantially to the production of goods and services, employment and investments. Due to their importance, they are closely monitored by the National Statistical Institutes and Eurostat.
Two competitions are organized by Eurostat for MNE groups:
- The goal of the Multinational Enterprise Group Data Discovery Challenge is to develop approaches that automatically identify sources of annual financial data on the World Wide Web for MNE Groups. Participants will receive a list of 200 MNE Groups. The discovered sources of financial data and reports should be as recent as possible, credible and trustworthy, and contain as much financial data as possible.
- The goal of the Multinational Enterprise Group Data Extraction Challenge is to develop approaches that automatically extract important annual financial data of MNE Groups. Participants will receive a list of 200 MNE Groups. The extraction of MNE Group financial data should be done in an automated way, the data being as recent as possible, credible and trustworthy, and extracted in the correct format.
The registration is open between 18 Mar 2025 and 22 Apr 2025 and participants have a time of one month to submit their solutions for which they can win for accuracy, reusability and innovativeness prizes totalling €50,000.
