Synopsis & Agenda:
The first IAFA event, Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH), to strengthen knowledge exchange with the SNS community and collaboration event, occurred online on Thursday, 5 October 2023.
The DIH aims to facilitate the digitalisation of European industry in the context of the Digital Europe Programme. SCoDIHNet (Smart Connectivity Digital Innovation Hub Network) is a network of DIHs with expertise in Smart Connectivity (5G/6G, IoT, Security).
DIHs aim to develop the links between end users (industry) and technology providers, of which SNS JU projects are considered key sources. To this end, various initiatives are being developed focusing on replicability, mapping of technology providers and end-user requirements.
The replicability initiative aims to facilitate the reuse of use cases/solutions developed by SNS projects by compiling them in a regularly updated catalogue from which DIHs could pick up use cases and solutions that fit their customers. The mapping initiative aims to map all technology providers, testbeds and DIHs at the regional level to foster cooperation among stakeholders working in the same region, thus facilitating innovation development with end-user customers. Lastly, end-user requirements are being collected to feed the SNS RIA and work plan, as DIHs are very close to end users.
