What is an EDIH ?
Spotlight on the European Digital Innovation Hubs.
As part of the Digitising European Industry program, EDIH (European Digital Innovation Hub) refer to groups of stakeholders committed to constitute a unique contact point enabling companies of their territories to build collaborative relationships with the players and ecosystems they need to achieve their digital transformation.
After a first national preselection by States members, the European Commission will select the EDIH chosen for the 2021-2023 period.
SUMITY Manifesto
The four beliefs which led to SUMITY's creation.
What the crisis taught us
The Covid-19 crisis has been a strong revealer of all our vulnerabilities. Our traditional models for development have reached their upper limits. Our societies fragility and our lack of resilience are more than ever apparent.
A necessary refoundation
More than recovery plans, our economic states and societies need from now on the refoundation of our development models.
This refoundation needs to be based on enhanced policies for innovation geared towards the essential needs (health, education, accommodation, environment) and the achievement of the objectives of energetic sobriety set by the Paris Agreements.
Sobriety and resilience designing the equation
Ecological and digital being at the crossroads of the biggest transitions, SUMITY gathers the most representative research centers, public authorities and businesses to design and build sober and resilient cities and territories.
Focus & impact
To answer the climatic, social and environmental emergency, SUMITY will focus its services on a high impact challenge: accelerate the digital and ecological transformation for traditional SME and public authorities by using artificial intelligence (AI) and datas.
To address these challenges, SUMITY put in the spotlight the citizen involvement and their commitment on its projects.
