DigIT Hub

Sweden: South Sweden

Overview

DigIT Hub We help the public sector and manufacturing industry in Southern Sweden reach their digitalisation goals.   Digitalisation is a broad term, and digitalisation needs vary within each organization. Through DigIT Hub, we are using digitalisation as an engine to create sustainable and efficient processes and working methods, strengthened competitiveness, and better tailored services in the region. We help organisations in southern Sweden (Skåne and Blekinge) stay relevant through digital transition; allowing them to meet expectations of customers, employees and citizens who are becoming increasingly digital.   Towards "Smart Cities" & "Smart Industry" DigIT Hub is specifically aimed at small and medium-sized companies in the manufacturing industry, as well as entities in the public sector. The initiatives we work with fall broadly within the areas "Smart Cities" and "Smart Industry". No digitalisation issue is too big or too small to share with us, and we offer both introductory and advanced digitalisation support.   What we offer DigIT Hub offers support for digitalisation in the following ways: LEARN: Skills & Training We work closely with training centers, educational providers and research institutions to help build digital skills within your organisation. We build digital capacity for those currently employed, as well as for future generations. TEST: Test-Before-Invest We offer test-before-invest environments, that allow for hands-on demonstration and trial before investing in new tools or equipment that support or enable digitalisation. This is offered in both digital and physical settings. NETWORK: An Innovation Ecosystem We provide access to an innovation ecosystem that offers a range of tools and services to help you identify, select and implement appropriate technologies and digital processes that meet your current needs. INVEST: Support to Find Investments We ensure that you are never alone on your digital journey, with direct access to financing opportunities and a vast network of partners in business, academia and the public sector.   Founding organisations In 2020, DigIT Hub was established as a regional Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) in southern Sweden and has since been appointed by the European Commission as a European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH). DigIT Hub is currently funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Region Skåne, and is led by regional, non-profit cluster organisations Mobile Heights, Media Evolution and IUC Syd in collaboration with Lund University (LTH) and Malmö University. DigIT Hub is also supported by key partners in the public sector, research, business and industry.   Digital technologies.
