Abstract
Technology enables Manufacturing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to increase operational efficiency using business management software, digital inventory systems, and production process automation. Technology can also open wider market access for SMEs. SMEs can reach potential consumers through digital platforms and e-commerce in a wider area, even to international markets. This research aims to measure the readiness of SMEs in Indonesia to apply digital technology, looking generally, in terms of sectors, and comparing SMEs that received the assistance program and SMEs that did not receive the assistance program. This research method uses a Maturity Assessment model using a questionnaire instrument. The research results show that, on average, SMEs in Indonesia are still categorized as "Learning" level with a percentage of 87%. Most sectors with the greatest readiness to apply digital technology are the textile and food sectors. The result also shows that a higher category of technology readiness for SMEs is associated with the larger proportion of SMEs that participated in the government program
