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.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
