ProgrammesThe 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.

Digital, Industry & Space EIT Deployment: Best use of technologies
The Co-Creation Accelerator is a programme run by 28DIGITAL (formerly EIT Digital). It brings together start-ups and industry partners to co-develop solutions to real-world challenges, with a focus on: Validating core technology (TRL 4-5 and above) Strengthening problem-solution fit Reducing technical and market uncertainty Building a cle... read more
The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
