Inspiring plenary sessions, informative workshop and targeted meetings of European DIH ecosystem
Boosting Widening Digital Innovation Hubs project has allowed the provision of joint services to local SMEs by matching two DIHs located in different regions. The event will present the methodology, tools and success stories to foster interregional collaboration between DIHs.
As part of the Digitising European Industry Strategy, BOWI contributed to ensure that any business in Europe has access to a Digital Innovation Hub and also received support from other DIHs outside their region.
The project has been addressing the challenge that knowledge, expertise and some of the technological capacities promoted under I4MS and SAE initiatives are not available for European industry at large. Within BOWI DIHs from different regions have been collaborating through joint highly innovative cross-border experiments.
The vision of the collaboration between DIHs in BOWI, similar to the one of the EDIHs, is to improve the competitiveness of the regions by more efficient and effective use of regional capacities. Therefore BOWI explored the mechanisms that connect hubs from widening regions with other DIHs, by encouraging the creation of corridors or collaboration avenues that go beyond the ad-hoc collaboration.
The event will present the results of the project, the tools and methodologies that have been developed to forge the collaboration between DIH. First-hand information will be shared by the DIHs participating in the programme, sharing their success story, lessons learned and tips to collaborate with other DIHs. The session will include a hands-on workshop to create your own recipe to establish a fruitful and long-lasting collaboration with other (E)DIHs.
The event will facilitate networking opportunities. If you are an DIH or an EDIHs this event will contribute to exploring the available opportunities for DIHs collaboration, find funding and inspiration.
DIH² Network Convention
Our event will be proceeded by 3rd DIH² Network Convention, a physical meeting dedicated to exploring the upcoming European funding calls to build follow-up support schemes for regional companies. The participants will also learn from the experience of other DIHs that have successfully managed to design follow-up programmes for the beneficiaries of the DIH² Network open calls.
