Digital Innovation Hubs

• What is a Digital Innovation Hub?
• EC initiative definition: An ecosystem of start-ups, SMEs, large industries, researchers, accelerators

and investors that fosters the creation of partnerships to stimulate innovation.

• Objective: Establish a Pan-European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs)
• Status: 100+ DIHs registered comprising both regional and European ones that focus on a variety of

sectors and topics https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/digital-innovation-hubs

• The EOSC DIH (initiated via EOSC-hub in Jan 18’)
• Builds on the EC initiative to onboard industrial partnerships within the EOSC
• Joint effort from years of individual e-Infrastructure industry engagement programs (spirt of EOSC-

hub)

• Focused on (not limited to) start-ups and SMEs
• Starts with 6 business pilots selected during project preparation
• To persist beyond the life of EOSC-hub
