WP1 focused on assessing Blue Economy SMEs' innovation needs and readiness for Industry 4.0. A standardized methodology was developed, including a questionnaire and the Technology Maturity Level (TML) Index, to evaluate SMEs’ digital adoption. Data from 160 SMEs were collected and analyzed, leading to a comprehensive Mapping Report. Key findings were shared through dissemination events, supporting SMEs in identifying technological gaps and fostering cross-border collaboration. The results lay the foundation for targeted digital transformation actions in the next project phases.
