The tool is open to all companies and freely available in 32 languages.

Businesses can use this tool to evaluate their maturity across six key criteria: digital business strategy, digital readiness, digital skills improvement, data management, automation and intelligence, and green digitalisation. With this insight, SMEs can plan their digital growth more effectively and receive tailored advice from their local EDIH. Additionally, other actors like the Enterprise Europe Network and industrial clusters can leverage the Digital Maturity Assessment tool to help their SMEs digitalise and use artificial intelligence.

Comprising 228 hubs, the EDIH Network is dedicated to bolstering the digital capabilities of companies and public sector organisations. With 151 hubs funded by the Commission’s Digital Europe Programme and 77 backed by national or regional resources, the network will be a catalyst for digital innovation and growth across Europe.

The Digital Maturity Assessment tool will help achieve the Digital Decade target of 75% uptake of AI, cloud and/or big data by European companies. The network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), together with the AI Office now in full swing, will be a one-stop-shop for SMEs and public services seeking AI and digital transformation solutions.
