EC Digital Innovation Hub Initiative Background and landscape

Digital Innovation Hub EC definition What is a Digital Innovation Hub? An ecosystem of start-ups, SMEs, large industries, researchers, accelerators and investors that fosters the creation of partnerships to stimulate innovation.

Digital Innovation hub A one-stop-shop providing services to companies in the region through a multi-partner cooperation Access to Specialist Expertise and Infrastructure Brokering/matchmaking Awareness Creation around Digital Technologies Innovation Scouting Digital Maturity Assessment. Visioning and Strategy Development for Businesses Mentoring

European Landscape of DIHs Agile, and demand-driven, Digital Innovation Hubs in Europe are sustainable innovation ecosystems, not just a gateway to services. Running DIH initiatives 22 innovation hubs all over the European continent, soon expanding worldwide Digital Innovation Hubs in H2020: The EC is focusing EUR 300M in H2020 (2018-2020) – short time from idea to hands-on experimentation and development. €110m of funding has been invested in I4MS since 2013; - 11 large projects funded by Fp7 and H2020, 70 competence centres;

Launch 3 Working Groups To derive recommendations to the High-Level Governance Meeting within 1 year WG on Digital Innovation Hubs addressing issues such as Raising awareness and engaging SMEs Improving access to finance for SMEs Networking and collaboration including business models Role of Member States/regions for the development of DIHs Reinforce digital skills and training dimension 2. Joint WG of DEI and Multi Stakeholder Platform (MSP) on standardization activities of Digital Industrial Platforms Coordination of platform building and piloting activities Synchronization and acceleration of standardization efforts 3. WG on Future Partnerships The Multistakeholder Platform on ICT Standardisation (MSP) and the Digitising European Industry initiative (DEI) set up a joint Working Group in March 2018 with the aim of providing a comprehensive plan to foster standardisation in support of the digitalisation of European industry. It brings together nominated representatives of the MSP and the High-level governance meeting of the European platform of national initiatives on digitising industry, including national ministries and actions on digitising industry, European Standardisation Organisations (ESOs), Public-Private Partnerships, and relevant European associations. In particular, the Working Group will: Identify, as a starting point, the standardisation needs in the manufacturing sector, which might serve as a blueprint for other domains in the future.

Additional Collaborations (at various stages) Why Collaborate Why should industry engage the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)? Diverse services; Exploit research data; Expertise; Wide visibility; Funding opportunities Single point for discovery, request and access of services and expertise Collaborate on a European and international scale Promote services (agreeing to the ‘rules of participation’) Participant in procurement framework Are you already in a Digital Innovation Hub? EC wants to create a pan-European ‘network’ of DIHs, we should work together Additional Collaborations (at various stages)
