Digitalisation

Helping SMEs tailor digital solutions to their business needs

Digitalisation can bring several benefits to your business, including higher efficiency and lower costs. We can guide you on how to integrate digital technologies into your business processes and on how to tailor digital solutions to your business needs.

Support services on digitalisation

We can assess your digitalisation needs through effective methodologies and ready-to-use tools.

Based on a thorough assessment of the needs and challenges of your company, we can provide tailored advice and help you find innovation partners, market-ready digital technologies and solutions, or market opportunities for your digital solutions.

We can also support you in getting your digitalisation projects funded through different available EU and national/regional funding programmes, schemes, and measures.

Our digitalisation allies

We offer these services to you in collaboration with other business support organisations in your local ecosystem, who can complement our initial services with more advanced and specialized digitalisation support services.

They are the so called “EEN digitalisation allies”. We split the delivery of basic digitalisation support and more specific services and advice among us to make sure you receive a complete set of services tailored to your needs.

Among our allies, you can count on European Digital Innovation Hubs, digital clusters and Startup Europe initiatives.

We ensure synergies among us through:

  • Joint activities such as events, B2B, I2B, joint trade fair appearances, info sessions, trainings

  • Client referrals for specialised services such as test-before-invest

Digital Maturity Assessment tool

The European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) launched a Digital Maturity Assessment tool that will help SMEs to identify their company’s digital maturity and indicate areas where improvements can be made.

Based on a questionnaire that checks digital maturity against a series of criteria, the tool covers six areas:

  • Digital Business Strategy
  • Digital Readiness
  • Digital Skills and Empowerment
  • Data Management
  • Automation & Intelligence
  • Green Digitalisation

The tool is open to all companies and available for free in 32 languages. Check it out!
