SAE-DigiFed First Network Expansion Event

First DigiFed DIH-Network Event
Virtual Workshop, 17 th November 2020

Are you interested in discussing, refining and exploring the services provided by Digital
Innovation Hubs (DIH) to foster and support the development and consolidation of SMEs
across Europe? Then we are happy to invite you to the First DigiFed DIH-Network Event, to
be held virtually the 17 th of November and co-organized by the SmartAnythingEverywhere
(SAE) initiative.

This workshop will focus on exchanging experiences between different DIHs, particularly
from the field Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). We will discuss the different challenges faced
by DIHs, including the development of operationally and financially sustainable services to
support SMEs, the reaching out to strategic stakeholders, and the interaction with local,
national and European eco-systems. Moreover, we will develop a collaboration roadmap to
outline and establish strategies to exploit potential synergies between the different
participating DIHs.

Participants will also learn the DigiFed approach to support SMEs, foster technology transfer
and improve the digital maturity of companies across Europe. Participants will have the
opportunity to learn the SmartAnythingEverywhere approach towards DIHs and its strategy
to support and foster them in their consolidation. Moreover, the perspective of sustainability
will be deeply discussed particularly from a European perspective. In addition, the different
Innovation Actions under the SAE umbrella focused on CPS will also present their tools and
strategy to support SMEs.
