Focus on: Digital Innovation Hubs and digital technology
Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) support SMEs in becoming more competitive by improving processes, products and services by the use of digital technology. Now, that's easier said than done. That's why we have put together a set of resources that can support your region in exploring the use of Digital Innovation Hubs and digital technology.
Taking stock of Interreg Europe's good practices and policy initiatives, our thematic experts Luc Schmerber, Rene Tonnisson, and Mart Veliste have put together a selection of reading materials and online events that will help you better understand the topic.
