AI Maturity tool 

Assess your AI readiness

What is the Maturity Tool?

The AI Maturity Tool is a free self-assessment for organisations aiming to understand how ready they are to build, scale or embed artificial intelligence across their operations. You answer a short set of questions across six dimensions of readiness and receive a clear, visual dashboard that maps your maturity level. The output gives you a concrete baseline: strengths, gaps and areas to prioritise for development.

This works for corporates, start-ups, public organisations, research units or any organisation exploring AI adoption or digital transformation.

Why take the assessment?

Know where you stand today: The assessment reveals your organisation’s current capabilities and maturity in leveraging AI, across six key dimensions.

Benchmark against peers and trends: By completing the tool, you can see how your maturity compares with others, giving you visibility into where you lead or need to catch up.

Target your investment strategically: Whether you're just starting, scaling, or accelerating, the maturity graph helps you prioritise the most impactful development areas and build a roadmap.

Support European collaboration and trust: The tool is part of the broader efforts by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) community to strengthen the continent’s capacity for building competitive, sustainable, responsible AI.

Why this tool?

The European Institute of Innovation & Technology exists to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness, drive sustainable economic growth, and support job creation by bringing together leading businesses, universities, and research organisations. Innovation and entrepreneurship are central to this mission, and Artificial Intelligence is now one of the most powerful drivers of both.

AI is reshaping industries, transforming how organisations operate, and creating entirely new opportunities for value creation. As digitalisation accelerates and new professional roles emerge, organisations must understand not only what AI can do, but also how ready they are to adopt it responsibly and effectively.

This is where the AI Maturity Tool plays a role. It helps organisations across the private and public sectors assess their current capabilities, identify gaps, and understand what is needed to build trustworthy, human-centred AI solutions. At a time when ethical, organisational, and strategic considerations are becoming just as important as technical ones, gaining clarity on your AI readiness is essential for sustainable, future-proof innovation.
