Project description

The European Digital Innovation Hub DIGITALIS aims to help both groups of industrial companies. Traditional SMEs with the adoption

of new digital technologies and tech-savvy SMEs with connecting them in building up a competitive advantage in the globalized

marketplace. Through our cosystemservice we will also bring together both groups of SMEs in order to create a marketplace for

digital solutions and let the traditional SMEs learn from their peers. The prime goals are: 1. Increase the uptake of digital technologies

on the shop-floor of manufacturing SMEs 2. Increase the level of digital skills on the shop-floor 3. Play an active role in the European

network of Digital Innovation Hubs 4. Actively contribute to the European Green Deal goals DIGITALIS thus aims to act as a "onestop

shop" for manufacturing companies that want to digitize their products and processes. Our embedding in the regional as well as

the European innovation landscape paves the way to provide the best available service to the SMEs. Although the focus of the EDIH is

very clearly on the industry, several concepts, methodologies, and tools may also be relevant to public authorities. The main objectives

of DIGITALIS address the core elements of the call for a network of European Digital Innovation Hubs. We will support the digital

transformation of EU industrial ecosystems, increase the level of industrial digitalisation, upskill the workforce and reinforce critical

digital capacities. DIGITALIS will form the atewayto a set of services, technologies and knowledge which are necessary for this

digital transition and will play an active role in the European network of EDIHs. We will thus actively support the deployment of digital

technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity, which are the focus of the hub.
