EU Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA)
Identify digital strengths and weaknesses through online self-assessment
About the method
Developed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, DMAT is a common assessment tool for European Digital Innovation Hubs. It tracks digital maturity before and after support and helps identify client needs.
Geographic adoption and scale
- Regions
- EU and other European countries participating in EDIH, with published applications in Finland and Ireland.
- Scale
- By mid-January 2025, the EDIH network had performed over 11,000 assessments of businesses and public-sector organizations.
EDIHs use DMAT for initial diagnosis and follow-up. Finland’s FAIR offers DMA services, and Ireland’s ENTIRE has published its service pathway. The 11,000 figure counts assessments, not distinct companies or unique users of the public Open DMAT tool.
