It highlights how the propensity to digitalization and digital maturity of SMEs is not only affected by financial factors (access to finance) but also by non-financial factors (knowledge and ambition to digitalize). In particular, the study shows the crucial role of digital innovation hubs and the wider ecosystem in supporting the digitalization of SMEs.

The study proposes a comprehensive approach to address the challenges of digitalization of SMEs. It includes recommendations and potential policy actions to strengthen the ecosystem and ways to improve access to finance condition for digital projects.
