CloudCamp4SMEs – Empowering the digital transformation of European SMEs

ongoing

CloudCamp4SMEs (CC4SMEs) aims to empower the digital transformation of EU SMEs by facilitating access to high- quality, low-cost training courses focusing on high-demand digital skills for Cloud Technologies and based on Cloud solutions and training content developed by global leaders in cloud technology. CC4SMEs will deliver a unique Cloud Training Programme, tailored to the needs of SMEs located in 5 Regions/Pilots Countries selected to cover all the typologies of innovation performance at the EU Level, to make sure that the training addresses the specific needs of SMEs in any region/country independent of their innovation status. The Pilots will be run inNordics & Benelux (FI, SE, DK, BE, NL) (Innovation Leader), DE (Strong Innovator), IT & ES (Moderate Innovators), and PL (Emerging Innovator). We will first run the Pilots in Nordics & Benelux Region/Countries, DE, and IT, then expand the pilot to ES and PL, and finally, it will be scaled across Europe through the recruitment of new training providers and business associations to deliver the program. CC4SMEs aims to deliver the training to around 400 SMEs- and more than 1000 participants- to start with. In order to successfully implement it, we have assembled a consortium including 3 leading Certified Cloud Training providers in Europe, and Business Association to help recruit and support participating SMEs. FundingBox, the coordinator, will also lead the dissemination activities by involving their local teams in DK, PL, and ES and by establishing synergies with strategic projects at the EU Level such as DIHNET, the pan European Digital Innovation Hub Network, or I4MS, the network of DIHs in manufacturing domain. The consortium will be completed by Schuman, a leading Brussels-based Advisory Firm to develop the sustainability strategy and liaise with the Digital Skills & Jobs Platform. All with the support of the EBN Network to widely spread the Training Programme all around Europe.
