Administrative units

In order to be able to assign the companies to a geographical region, we use a hierarchical structure inspired by the NUTS system of the European Union. This is structure is comparable across countries. However, in some world regions, the more fine-grained categories do not exist.

See also our coverage (number of companies per country).
