services, markets, and they can achieve it if they continuously increase the degree of digitization.
Digitalization, often called to as the "fourth industrial revolution", is of vital importance to ensure
competitive advantage in the global economy. Digitalization is not just about acquiring IT equipment
and systems. It encompasses fundamental business dimensions.
In this paper, the key indicators of digitalization in the Republic of North Macedonia will be
elaborated. Also, the level of digital transformation in SMEs and that means measuring digital
intensity index will be evaluated. Based on the data obtained, a comparative analysis will be made
between the level of digitalization of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Republic of North
Macedonia and EU member states.
