In addition, SRC-EDIH will provide access to prototyping and test environments to accelerate the adoption of new digital technologies and skills and advance the current digital solutions. Moreover, it will provide (i) support for building an industrial ecosystem of firms with broad expertise in different fields that offer complementary services or products through conferences, events, and workshops; (ii) and support for access to European and national public and private funding to strength the firms’ capacity of introducing digital innovation and increase their competitiveness.
