They aim to strengthen innovation ecosystems and increase national/regional productivity and competitiveness. Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are pivotal in the recent policy initiative within the present Digitising the European Industry (DEI) strategy of the EU. DIHs are regional multi-partner one-stop-shops, aiming at supporting SMEs and the public sector in their digital transformation. While S3 will continue to be an important "enabling condition" for the post2020 Cohesion policy and ERDF funding, DEI initiative aspires to ensure the presence of at least one (1) DIH per region to reinforce regional digital innovation capacities of economy and society. The purpose of the workshop is to present current evidence and explore more how the regional/national innovation ecosystems formed around S3 priorities are currently interacting with DIHs and how these two "worlds" could be brought closer together, interact more with each other for the benefit of local/national economies. Closer and more synergistic collaboration with a view to increase the level of adoption of digital innovations in high priority economic sectors is expected to increase regional competitiveness and support the uptake of disruptive and promising digital technologies (i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Data analytics, IoT, Cybersecurity). Some examples of S3 priority areas that could substantially benefit from the reinforcement of such interaction are the Agri-food sector and many Industrial/Manufacturing market sectors. All types of regions could see benefits by exploring ways of bringing DIHs closer to the design/implementation of smart specialisation/digital transformation strategies including regions in industrial transition and low growth/low income regions. To address these issues, during the workshop, the S3P team of the JRC, together with DG CNECT and the DIHNET.EU consortium will: - present their experience so far with the Catalogue of DIHs (hosted under the S3P) and results of analytical work based on regional case studies and a recent survey to DIH managers and regional policy actors - discuss the role of DIHs in the near future to contribute to a "smarter specialisation" era for the New Cohesion Policy - provide to policy-makers and practitioners the opportunity to get the latest updates about future initiatives in the post2020 EU programming period on how to support DIHs in the Digital Europe programme and the role of ERDF to promote future collaboration with S3 in regional/national level.

They aim to strengthen innovation ecosystems and increase national/regional productivity and competitiveness. Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are pivotal in the recent policy initiative within the present Digitising the European Industry (DEI) strategy of the EU. DIHs are regional multi-partner one-stop-shops, aiming at supporting SMEs and the public sector in their digital transformation. While S3 will continue to be an important "enabling condition" for the post2020 Cohesion policy and ERDF funding, DEI initiative aspires to ensure the presence of at least one (1) DIH per region to reinforce regional digital innovation capacities of economy and society. The purpose of the workshop is to present current evidence and explore more how the regional/national innovation ecosystems formed around S3 priorities are currently interacting with DIHs and how these two "worlds" could be brought closer together, interact more with each other for the benefit of local/national economies. Closer and more synergistic collaboration with a view to increase the level of adoption of digital innovations in high priority economic sectors is expected to increase regional competitiveness and support the uptake of disruptive and promising digital technologies (i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Data analytics, IoT, Cybersecurity). Some examples of S3 priority areas that could substantially benefit from the reinforcement of such interaction are the Agri-food sector and many Industrial/Manufacturing market sectors. All types of regions could see benefits by exploring ways of bringing DIHs closer to the design/implementation of smart specialisation/digital transformation strategies including regions in industrial transition and low growth/low income regions. To address these issues, during the workshop, the S3P team of the JRC, together with DG CNECT and the DIHNET.EU consortium will: - present their experience so far with the Catalogue of DIHs (hosted under the S3P) and results of analytical work based on regional case studies and a recent survey to DIH managers and regional policy actors - discuss the role of DIHs in the near future to contribute to a "smarter specialisation" era for the New Cohesion Policy - provide to policy-makers and practitioners the opportunity to get the latest updates about future initiatives in the post2020 EU programming period on how to support DIHs in the Digital Europe programme and the role of ERDF to promote future collaboration with S3 in regional/national level.

They aim to strengthen innovation ecosystems and increase national/regional productivity and competitiveness. Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are pivotal in the recent policy initiative within the present Digitising the European Industry (DEI) strategy of the EU. DIHs are regional multi-partner one-stop-shops, aiming at supporting SMEs and the public sector in their digital transformation. While S3 will continue to be an important "enabling condition" for the post2020 Cohesion policy and ERDF funding, DEI initiative aspires to ensure the presence of at least one (1) DIH per region to reinforce regional digital innovation capacities of economy and society. The purpose of the workshop is to present current evidence and explore more how the regional/national innovation ecosystems formed around S3 priorities are currently interacting with DIHs and how these two "worlds" could be brought closer together, interact more with each other for the benefit of local/national economies. Closer and more synergistic collaboration with a view to increase the level of adoption of digital innovations in high priority economic sectors is expected to increase regional competitiveness and support the uptake of disruptive and promising digital technologies (i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Data analytics, IoT, Cybersecurity). Some examples of S3 priority areas that could substantially benefit from the reinforcement of such interaction are the Agri-food sector and many Industrial/Manufacturing market sectors. All types of regions could see benefits by exploring ways of bringing DIHs closer to the design/implementation of smart specialisation/digital transformation strategies including regions in industrial transition and low growth/low income regions. To address these issues, during the workshop, the S3P team of the JRC, together with DG CNECT and the DIHNET.EU consortium will: - present their experience so far with the Catalogue of DIHs (hosted under the S3P) and results of analytical work based on regional case studies and a recent survey to DIH managers and regional policy actors - discuss the role of DIHs in the near future to contribute to a "smarter specialisation" era for the New Cohesion Policy - provide to policy-makers and practitioners the opportunity to get the latest updates about future initiatives in the post2020 EU programming period on how to support DIHs in the Digital Europe programme and the role of ERDF to promote future collaboration with S3 in regional/national level.

Target audience Policymakers; corporate decision-makers; technology movers, makers and shakers; press; scientists; innovators; researchers; media Investors/venture capitalists; intermediaries; entrepreneurs; high-tech world General public; education professionals; anyone with a passion for science, research and innovation; all delegates from the Policy Conference and the Innovative Europe Hub European Commission Kanal - Centre Pompidou Quai des Péniches 1000 Brussels Belgium 08.10.2019 | 08:00 - 18:00 European Week of Regions and Cities - Digital Innovation Hubs and Smart Specialisation for digital transformation Brussels, Belgium Show details Currently more than 120 national/regional smart specialisation strategies (RIS3) across Europe are serving as guidance for investments implemented under the current Cohesion Policy 2014-2020. They aim to strengthen innovation ecosystems and increase national/regional productivity and competitiveness. Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are pivotal in the recent policy initiative within the present Digitising the European Industry (DEI) strategy of the EU. DIHs are regional multi-partner one-stop-shops, aiming at supporting SMEs and the public sector in their digital transformation. While S3 will continue to be an important "enabling condition" for the post2020 Cohesion policy and ERDF funding, DEI initiative aspires to ensure the presence of at least one (1) DIH per region to reinforce regional digital innovation capacities of economy and society. The purpose of the workshop is to present current evidence and explore more how the regional/national innovation ecosystems formed around S3 priorities are currently interacting with DIHs and how these two "worlds" could be brought closer together, interact more with each other for the benefit of local/national economies. Closer and more synergistic collaboration with a view to increase the level of adoption of digital innovations in high priority economic sectors is expected to increase regional competitiveness and support the uptake of disruptive and promising digital technologies (i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Data analytics, IoT, Cybersecurity). Some examples of S3 priority areas that could substantially benefit from the reinforcement of such interaction are the Agri-food sector and many Industrial/Manufacturing market sectors. All types of regions could see benefits by exploring ways of bringing DIHs closer to the design/implementation of smart specialisation/digital transformation strategies including regions in industrial transition and low growth/low income regions. To address these issues, during the workshop, the S3P team of the JRC, together with DG CNECT and the DIHNET.EU consortium will: - present their experience so far with the Catalogue of DIHs (hosted under the S3P) and results of analytical work based on regional case studies and a recent survey to DIH managers and regional policy actors - discuss the role of DIHs in the near future to contribute to a "smarter specialisation" era for the New Cohesion Policy - provide to policy-makers and practitioners the opportunity to get the latest updates about future initiatives in the post2020 EU programming period on how to support DIHs in the Digital Europe programme and the role of ERDF to promote future collaboration with S3 in regional/national level.

All types of regions could see benefits by exploring ways of bringing DIHs closer to the design/implementation of smart specialisation/digital transformation strategies including regions in industrial transition and low growth/low income regions. To address these issues, during the workshop, the S3P team of the JRC, together with DG CNECT and the DIHNET.EU consortium will: - present their experience so far with the Catalogue of DIHs (hosted under the S3P) and results of analytical work based on regional case studies and a recent survey to DIH managers and regional policy actors - discuss the role of DIHs in the near future to contribute to a "smarter specialisation" era for the New Cohesion Policy - provide to policy-makers and practitioners the opportunity to get the latest updates about future initiatives in the post2020 EU programming period on how to support DIHs in the Digital Europe programme and the role of ERDF to promote future collaboration with S3 in regional/national level.

They aim to strengthen innovation ecosystems and increase national/regional productivity and competitiveness. Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are pivotal in the recent policy initiative within the present Digitising the European Industry (DEI) strategy of the EU. DIHs are regional multi-partner one-stop-shops, aiming at supporting SMEs and the public sector in their digital transformation. While S3 will continue to be an important "enabling condition" for the post2020 Cohesion policy and ERDF funding, DEI initiative aspires to ensure the presence of at least one (1) DIH per region to reinforce regional digital innovation capacities of economy and society. The purpose of the workshop is to present current evidence and explore more how the regional/national innovation ecosystems formed around S3 priorities are currently interacting with DIHs and how these two "worlds" could be brought closer together, interact more with each other for the benefit of local/national economies. Closer and more synergistic collaboration with a view to increase the level of adoption of digital innovations in high priority economic sectors is expected to increase regional competitiveness and support the uptake of disruptive and promising digital technologies (i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Data analytics, IoT, Cybersecurity).

Target audience Policymakers; corporate decision-makers; technology movers, makers and shakers; press; scientists; innovators; researchers; media Investors/venture capitalists; intermediaries; entrepreneurs; high-tech world General public; education professionals; anyone with a passion for science, research and innovation; all delegates from the Policy Conference and the Innovative Europe Hub European Commission Kanal - Centre Pompidou Quai des Péniches 1000 Brussels Belgium 08.10.2019 | 08:00 - 18:00 European Week of Regions and Cities - Digital Innovation Hubs and Smart Specialisation for digital transformation Brussels, Belgium Show details Currently more than 120 national/regional smart specialisation strategies (RIS3) across Europe are serving as guidance for investments implemented under the current Cohesion Policy 2014-2020. They aim to strengthen innovation ecosystems and increase national/regional productivity and competitiveness. Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are pivotal in the recent policy initiative within the present Digitising the European Industry (DEI) strategy of the EU. DIHs are regional multi-partner one-stop-shops, aiming at supporting SMEs and the public sector in their digital transformation. While S3 will continue to be an important "enabling condition" for the post2020 Cohesion policy and ERDF funding, DEI initiative aspires to ensure the presence of at least one (1) DIH per region to reinforce regional digital innovation capacities of economy and society. The purpose of the workshop is to present current evidence and explore more how the regional/national innovation ecosystems formed around S3 priorities are currently interacting with DIHs and how these two "worlds" could be brought closer together, interact more with each other for the benefit of local/national economies. Closer and more synergistic collaboration with a view to increase the level of adoption of digital innovations in high priority economic sectors is expected to increase regional competitiveness and support the uptake of disruptive and promising digital technologies (i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Data analytics, IoT, Cybersecurity). Some examples of S3 priority areas that could substantially benefit from the reinforcement of such interaction are the Agri-food sector and many Industrial/Manufacturing market sectors. All types of regions could see benefits by exploring ways of bringing DIHs closer to the design/implementation of smart specialisation/digital transformation strategies including regions in industrial transition and low growth/low income regions. To address these issues, during the workshop, the S3P team of the JRC, together with DG CNECT and the DIHNET.EU consortium will: - present their experience so far with the Catalogue of DIHs (hosted under the S3P) and results of analytical work based on regional case studies and a recent survey to DIH managers and regional policy actors - discuss the role of DIHs in the near future to contribute to a "smarter specialisation" era for the New Cohesion Policy - provide to policy-makers and practitioners the opportunity to get the latest updates about future initiatives in the post2020 EU programming period on how to support DIHs in the Digital Europe programme and the role of ERDF to promote future collaboration with S3 in regional/national level.
