EDIH Network: consolidating and expanding digital transformation services

The impact of the EDIH Network continues to grow through the increased provision of services to SMEs and public sector organisations (PSOs). The previous year’s activity consolidates the EDIHs as key actors for digitalising Europe. 

Providing digital transformation services to SMEs and PSOs 

As of mid-January 2025, the Digital Maturity Assessment Tool (DMAT) has become widely adopted within the EDIH Network, solidifying its role as a key tool for evaluating digital capabilities across European SMEs and PSOs. More specifically, over 11,000 assessments have been performed.

EDIHs delivered an impressive 30,000+ services, with SMEs receiving 88% of this support, and PSOs accounting for the remaining 12%. 

Recognition: 344 badges awarded

Since its launch in December 2023, the EDIH Network’s Badge Programme has recognised excellence across its categories by awarding 344 badges to 133 EDIHs. The badges highlight notable achievements, with 58 awarded in the ‘Test Before Invest’ category, 63 in ‘Support for Investment’, 56 in ‘Training and Skills Development’, 44 in ‘Networking and Innovation Ecosystems’, and 123 in the ‘Digital Maturity Assessments (DMAs)’ category.

This programme not only honors EDIHs' remarkable impact but also motivates hubs throughout Europe to keep raising the bar in delivering top-tier digital services.

Assessing the digital capabilities: digital speed tests 

The digital speed test (DST) offers companies and PSOs a quick and easy way to evaluate their digital progress, improving their digital transformation journey. More than 780 DSTs were performed between January 2024 and January 2025, boosting the tool’s popularity. 

In conclusion, the EDIH Network has been accelerating digitalisation across Europe, delivering more than 30,000 services to SMEs and PSOs by mid-January 2025. The increase of service provision to SMEs and PSOs, together with the widely adopted tools – DMAT and DST – demonstrates that EDIHs are positioning themselves as key players in the digital transformation landscape. 

Marked by significant achievements and impactful collaborations, 2024 was a highly successful year, laying a solid foundation for the future. 

With even more ambitious goals and innovations ahead, 2025 is set to be an even more transformative year for the EDIH Network and Europe’s digital ecosystem.
