Digital Innovation For Lithuanian Industrial Development

forthcoming

Responding to the DIGITAL-2025-EDIH-EU-EEA-08-CONSOLIDATION-STEP call, DI4 LITHUANIAN ID is submitting this proposal with the aim to continue supporting the digital and green transformation of SMEs and public sector organisations in Central and Western Lithuania. The specific objectives of the project are aligned with the goals of the call and are the following: (1) to reinforce and further consolidate the operational capacity of DI4 LITHUANIAN ID as a European Digital Innovation Hub, ensuring sustained regional and cross-border service delivery to SMEs and mid-caps in priority sectors; (2) to deepen the hub’s integration within the EDIH network by strengthening collaboration with European partners, AI Factories, TEFs, and the Digital Transformation Accelerator; (3) to refine its service offer around three key technological priorities—Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Industry 5.0—delivering tailored, high-impact services through a streamlined one-stop-shop approach. DI4 LITHUANIAN ID directly contributes to the Digital Europe Programme objectives by enhancing SME access to advanced digital technologies, developing digital skills, and supporting investment-readiness and cross-sectoral innovation. The hub’s strategic focus is on three sectors of national and EU importance: Manufacturing (particularly in high-value sub-sectors), Healthcare and Biotechnologies, and Information and Communication Technologies. DI4 LITHUANIAN ID builds on a strong foundation from EDIH 1.0 and enters this consolidation phase with a focused consortium of eight experienced partners. The project aims to advance Lithuania’s digital leadership while aligning regional capabilities with broader European ambitions.
