Abstract: Abstract SMEs are vital to the global economy, yet their adoption of state-of-the-art technologies is hindered by ad-hoc data management practices and limited access to high-quality datasets. This paper proposes a structured approach to overcoming these barriers through sector-specific data ecosystems. The approach includes a data maturity upgrading service designed to enhance SMEs data capabilities and an integrated infrastructure with governance mechanisms to support ecosystem development. By promoting collaboration and scalability, these ecosystems facilitate SME access to data-driven services, fostering digital transformation. The study highlights the importance of business, social, and technical considerations in enabling SMEs to harness the potential of data ecosystems for sustainable technological advancement.
