Following the High-level governance meeting of the European platform of national initiatives on digitising industry in November 2017, 3 new Working Groups were established to advance in the digitalisation of European Industry.
The Working Group on Digital Innovation Hubs held its third meeting in Brussels on 25 May 2018.
During the event, Digital Innovation Hubs representatives, Member States, regions and other interested stakeholders discussed:
- How to improve networking
- The role of Member States and regions in the development of Digital Innovation Hubs
- The status, future improvements and ideas on how to make the most of the European catalogue of DIHs
Report
More than 15 speakers from all across Europe presented their experiences and shared knowledge to trigger discussion and explore best practices. All detailed conclussions are available in the report from the meeting. The recorded streaming of the event is available as well as the participants list.
The Working Group will meet again in July to discuss the importance of digital skills and the role that Digital Innovation Hubs can play to promote them.
