The Eurpean DIGITAL SME Alliance invites SMEs to apply for the DIGITAL SME awards, an initiative recognising digital solutions and projects having a positive impact on three main areas: 

• Skills - By endorsing digital skills for education (EdTech), and fostering digital upskilling and reskilling in the workforce, this category aims to award SMEs which equip individuals with the abilities necessary to thrive in the digital age.

• Green - This category recognises digital SMEs developing digital innovations with a positive climate impact, supporting the twin transition towards green and digital transformation.

• Society - The award highlights the power of digital in fostering social well-being and inclusiveness, recognising SMEs that have made a positive societal impact through digital solutions.

The deadline for applications is 10 October 2024 (23:59 CEST). Nominees will be featured in the exclusive digital catalogue which will soon be publicly available on the DIGITAL SME website.

A jury will select the most impactful submissions, which will get the chance to join the awards ceremony during the DIGITAL SME summit on 10 December 2024 in Brussels. At the summit, shortlisted SMEs will have the opportunity to pitch their solution to an audience of more than 500 people including business leaders, potential clients and investors, and European and national policymakers. Awarded companies will receive a one-year membership to the European Digital Innovators Club - providing access to exclusive funding and networking opportunities.
