I4MS Talk: Experiences from EDIHs in widening regions. Bringing digital transformation closer to SMEs
Digital technologies such as High Performance Computing, Internet of Things, Big Data, blockchain, robotics and artificial intelligence allow businesses to produce higher value products and improve production processes. European companies are not making the most of all the opportunities digital has to offer. This slow uptake of digital technologies poses a risk to the European Unions ability to compete in the global economy, to create new jobs and to grow. The role of EDIHs to help developing digital technologies is more important than ever.
