  title = {EDIHs in Poland as intermediaries supporting digital transformation of SMEs},
  abstract = {Polish European Digital Innovation Hubs are reviewed as new intermediaries in SME digital transformation. The chapter combines a literature review with case evidence and 44 semi-structured interviews conducted with DIH and EDIH managers as well as European Commission representatives. In Poland, EDIHs act as regional orchestrators linking SMEs, public-sector organisations, clusters, research actors, innovation networks and European programmes. Their services include skills development, networking, access to finance and test-before-invest support, although individual hubs differ greatly in resources, maturity and service portfolios. Early activity focused mainly on awareness raising, digital maturity assessments, roadmaps and webinars, with AI services still limited. The chapter indicates that future impact depends on credible use cases, sustainable hub business models and SME readiness in data quality, skills and managerial mindset.},
