The European Commission has opened a call today to aim for the Consolidation of the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs, with a reinforced AI focus. The objective of this call is the consolidation of the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) aiming to cover all regions of the European Union and Associated Countries, by strengthening its performance and capacity to meet local, regional, national and European digitalisation needs. With increased experience and capacities, the EDIHs will continue providing the complete set of services of an EDIH, including the necessary infrastructure, focusing primarily on specific geographical areas, and covering the digital transformation needs of local SMEs, mid-caps and/or public sector organisations. Considering the transformation potential of AI technologies, these will be a reinforced focus of EDIHs’ operations under this call. The consolidation of the EDIHs network will be pivotal in supporting the wide deployment and uptake of European AI technologies, solutions, and tools and in promoting the adoption of other crucial digital technologies, while upholding Union values and human-centric perspective. The call is now open for submission, deadline to submit proposals is 14 May 2025.
