Wallachia eHub

ongoing

Wallachia eHub´s mission is to become the digital transformation gateway in the region of South Muntenia (RSM) and Bucharest Ilfov (RBI), Romania, by providing twin transition services and solutions to both the private sector (start-ups, SMEs, mid-caps) and the public sector. We start from a challenging position as our region is classified as “Emerging Innovator” and Romania ranks last in DESI 2021, being also one of the most exposed regions to climate change and environmental degradation. Therefore, green digital technologies should be the focus of our actions at regional level for environmental and societal sustainability and a more resilient region. Our vision is based on our role as a regional catalyst with many collaborations both nationally and internationally. Consortium partners, as well as the other Wallachia eHub members external to the project, have a previous experience of collaboration and strong interaction within the RSM and RBI cluster movements. WeHub capitalizes on a relevant infrastructure through its founders, core team and an additional external 70 members from business associations, universities, clusters, public authorities and technological companies. These strong links reflect WeHub’s value proposition to stimulate the digital green innovations in RSM and RBI through: fostering a collaborative ecosystem, capitalising on key structures around our EDIH such as clusters, and providing our flagship approach - Integrated Services for Digital Innovation and Transformation. The Consortium brings together 17 partners harmonising each other’s capabilities to provide specialised services in the form of digital and interoperability solutions applying advanced technologies such as AI, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Mobility, Location technologies (GIS) and Building Information Modelling. WeHub will provide a range of high technology services focusing on logistics engineering, precision agriculture, smart city, dual use services, urban planning and training programmes on key digitalisation concepts.
