Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) play an important role in accelerating digital transformation. The practice of implementing such structures is currently effective in Europe. The hubs create a platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), startups, researchers, and educational and research institutions, providing them with access to modern technologies, knowledge, and resources. The main goal of the hubs is to support businesses in implementing digital solutions, increasing their competitiveness, and developing innovative products and services. Success is measured by integration into the network of European digital innovation hubs.
The development of such a hub is being carried out at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and is currently supported by the German federal company GIZ Ukraine.
Opportunities and examples of services that can be provided to SMEs, assessment of the company's digital maturity, hub capabilities within the EDIH “Kyiv Hitech” and integration with partners from the European community - we will talk about this on August 29 at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
The purpose of the event is to present the results of the GIZ-supported project, their potential for use by SMEs, and the role of DIH KPIs in integrating into the EDIH Kyiv Hitech and the network of European digital hubs.
The target audience of the event is Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), startups, clusters, DIHs and their experts, representatives of European innovation ecosystems.
