Abstract. This paper quantifies the extent to which territorial context shapes Spanish manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) preferences and trade-offs for adopting additive manufacturing technologies across varying institutional support configurations. Using a discrete choice experiment, we simulate a stylized public programme to elicit trade-offs across four policy dimensions: training, financing, logistics, and business development.
