Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA) tool, developed by the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), enables small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to evaluate their digital maturity across six key dimensions: digital business strategy, digital readiness, digital skills improvement, data management, automation and intelligence, and green digitalization.

 This tool is accessible in 32 languages, allowing businesses across Europe to identify their strengths and areas for improvement in digital transformation. The DMA tool is used together with a FAIR EDIH expert, who helps companies in assessing and benchmarking their digital capabilities against industry peers and regional averages, facilitating strategic planning for digital growth. Regular use of the DMA tool enables businesses to monitor their progress over time, ensuring continuous advancement in their digital transformation journey.

You can also use the open DMA self-assessment tool at Open DMAT – Digital Maturity Assessment tool | European Digital Innovation Hubs Network.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd offers a free, web-based AI Maturity Tool that enables organizations to assess their readiness for adopting artificial intelligence (AI).
