The TSI Concluding Conference, held in Berlin on March 17–18, 2025, brought together key stakeholders from across the TSI community—including data providers, national productivity boards (NPBs), statistical institutes, and research experts—for two days of insightful presentations, knowledge exchange, and collaborative discussion.

Participants explored the latest advancements in CompNet data and the Micro Data Infrastructure (MDI), with a focus on emerging tools, innovative data applications, and their growing impact on economic research and policy. Sessions provided deep dives into the 10th Vintage of CompNet, showcased the evolving MDI infrastructure, and featured applications across crucial themes such as monetary policy, trade, competitiveness, firm dynamics, and energy.

The event also featured keynote contributions from Eurostat (Nikola Sunjka, Georgios Papadopoulos) and Andreas Moxnes (BI Norwegian Business School, University of Oslo), further enriching the dialogue on productivity and microdata use in policymaking.
