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.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
