DEvelop Digital Innovation Hub to Create and Accompany new Trends in European inDustries in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

closed

DEDIHCATED BFC is the candidate EDIH for the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region (BFC). The BFC region is the leading French region in terms of industrial employment with strong specificities: automotive, transport and mobility, mechanics, mechatronics, plastics, agri-food, and energy. Despite a high-quality regional digital offer and skills, industrial SMEs are far from digitalization, due to fragmentation between the different regional structures and programmes, not very structured and organised links between digital and application market players, and lack of availability of skills in these areas. The regional consultation process has demonstrated industrial needs in terms of solutions, skills and technologies related to data, and for applications in the factory (IoT, digital twins). DEDIHCATED BFC will create a one-stop-shop hub for industrial companies for their digital transition by offering them support and new services at reduced prices. DEDIHCATED BFC propose an innovative and added value approach based on the delivery of services in the form of an integrated pathway. Two thematic journeys have been designed in line with the industrial needs: 1) From data to Artificial Intelligence for company management; 2) Digitalisation of business processes and production to the digital twin. In addition to these advances’ services, and in view to meet the needs of SMEs far from the digitalisation, entry-level services (awareness, DMA, and basic services) will serve at entry-point of the hub. Bringing together 14 partners, DEDIHCATED BFC ensure both a good access to the industrial SMEs in all the targeted sectors and in all the geographical areas; and a technological expertise and infrastructures to deliver the services. With a total budget of 3 716 508€, DEDIHCATED BFC will be used by 350 SMEs for the next 3 years, with 200 qualification and diagnosis services and 90 SMEs accompanied under the integrated pathways. The EDIH will also allow to trigger more than 500K€.
