The Made Smarter Adoption (MSA) scheme will deliver funding, impartial advice, a roadmap from digital specialists, and leadership and management development programmes.
Norfolk County Council will also deliver and process 48 match-funded grants of up to £20,000.
A successful pilot has seen the council lead a £1.2m programme in 2025/26, supporting more than 88 SMEs in the region.
Funding for a £2.4m programme for 2026/27, with the potential to increase in future years, has now been confirmed, subject to government funding.
Dr Jamie Thums, chairman of Made Smarter Adoption East of England, said: “On behalf of the East of England Team, I am absolutely delighted with this award to further fund Made Smarter Adoption.
“As a result, we can extend the support for manufacturing SMEs across the region who seek to embrace digital technologies and create performance gains – essential to improving overall productivity.”
