Starting with a Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA), users will get a roadmap to improve and access to services: technology assessment, infrastructures, or R&D; business development, networking, or tailored training courses. The DMA will be assessed yearly to evaluate further needs and monitor the digitalization evolution. Project activities and results will be actively disseminated by the consortium, collaborating with DTA and other EU networks, organizing events and meetings at EU and regional level with stakeholders, policy-makers, EEN, etc. InnDIH portfolio of services will be reinforced by the links with the EDIH network, solving other users’ technology needs, starting from the 26 corridors already set (6 individual ones, 20 from EuHubs4Data). In a nutshell, InnDIH grows in a rich ecosystem, following the EU’s objective to attain industrial and social wealth through the green and digital transition. Its participation as an EDIH in the DIGITAL programme is a key element to boost digitalization in the Valencia region
