Fostering the digital transformation of SMEs

The digital transformation of SMEs is acknowledged as a factor of competitiveness for businesses and an engine for growth and welfare for the economy and the territories. It is commonly agreed upon that there is a need for action to foster the digital transformation of European businesses, especially in SMEs and traditional sectors.

Several Interreg Europe projects tackle the digital transformation from different perspectives.

This policy brief aims to provide an overview of their good practices and policies on how to foster the digital transformation of SMEs, with a focus on traditional sectors and SMEs with low digital maturity.

The policy brief ends with some insights of further aspects of the digital transformation, which are not deepened in this document, but were tackled in previous activities or will be addressed in the future by the Interreg Europe Policy learning Platform.
