European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs)

About this programme

A European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) is a single entity or a coordinated group of entities with complementary expertise and a not-for-profit objective to support on a large scale the digital transformation of SMEs and mid-caps, and/or public sector organisations. EDIHs provide services such as

  • testing before investing,
  • training and skills development,
  • support to find investments,
  • networking, and access to innovation ecosystems.

The initial network of EDIHs was established through a two-step selection process. First, Member States designated EDIH candidates through a national process. Secondly, the European Commission launched restricted calls for proposals in which only designated EDIH candidates were eligible to participate.

Under the main work programme 2025-2027, in their second phase of operations, EDIHs will focus on AI technologies that offer opportunities for growth and competitiveness and provide a first-line AI help desk to businesses and public sector organisations.

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
