The scatter plot titled “Eco-innovation and artificial intelligence in small enterprises” shows the relationship between eco-innovation and A I adoption for small enterprises across European countries. The horizontal axis is labeled “Eco-innovation (Standardized)” and has markings from negative 2 to 2 in increments of 1 unit. The vertical axis is labeled “A I small enterprises (Standardized)” and has markings from negative 2.5 to 2.5 in increments of 2.5 units. Dashed lines originate at 0 on both the horizontal and vertical axes and extend across the plot. Within this graph, three clusters are shown using colored markers and elliptical boundaries. The green cluster is positioned on the right side of the plot. Its horizontal diameter extends approximately from 0.8 to 2.3, and its vertical diameter extends from about negative 2.5 to 2.8. The points in this cluster, moving left to right, are: “A T” at (1.3, negative 0.2), “S E” at (1.5, 0.0), “D K” at (1.6, 2.7), “F I” at (1.9, 0.5), and “L U” at (2.0, 0.0). The orange cluster is centered horizontally and lies slightly below the horizontal zero line. Its horizontal diameter extends approximately from negative 2.0 to 1.1, and its vertical diameter extends from about negative 1.2 to 0.2. The points in this cluster, moving left to right, are: “B G” at (negative 1.8, negative 0.4), “P L” at (negative 1.6, negative 0.8), “H U” at (negative 1.2, negative 0.5), “R O” at (negative 1.1, negative 0.9), “S K” at (negative 0.9, negative 0.8), “H R” at (negative 0.9, negative 0.4), “C Y” at (negative 0.7, negative 0.3), “L T” at (negative 0.5, negative 0.6), “B E” at (negative 0.7, 0.2), “E L” at (negative 0.5, negative 0.9), “L V” at (negative 0.3, negative 0.5), “C Z” at (negative 0.1, negative 0.8), “E E” at (0.0, negative 0.7), “F R” at (0.2, negative 0.8), “E S” at (0.3, negative 0.3), “I T” at (0.6, negative 0.2), and “D E” at (1.0, negative 0.4). The purple cluster is located in the upper left portion of the plot. Its horizontal diameter extends approximately from negative 1.8 to 1.6, and its vertical diameter extends from about negative 1.2 to 3.0. The points in this cluster, moving left to right, are: “M T” at (negative 1.0, 1.0), “P T” at (negative 0.2, 2.5), “N L” at (0.1, 1.6), and “S I” at (0.1, 0.5).
