Following the presentation delivered by Anne-Marie Sassen of DG Connect to the EBN Board of Directors in November, EBN is delighted to present a webinar on European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) for all EBN Members on Tuesday 28th January at 15:00CET.

The webinar will help EBN Members gain a better understanding of how to engage with or become a part of their regional and national Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs). Many EU|BICs are already active in DIHs and this webinar will highlight some examples of EBN members' collaborations with their regional and national DIHs, as well as feature an overview of the Digital Europe Programme.

The webinar will begin with an overview of EDIHs and the Digital Europe Programme from Anne-Marie Sassen of DG Connect. Following this, two EBN Members, Panayotis Philimis, CEO of CyRIC, and Bartosz Jozefowski, DIH coordinator for Krakow Technology Park, will be presenting their experiences. They will explain how their EU|BICs approached working with regional and national policymakers, the benefits and challenges they have encountered, and how you can get involved in DIHs at a national level before taking part in a closing Q&A.
