Comparison EU - US companies
based on survey 1700 companies
Bruegel 2019: Bridging the divide: new evidence about firms and digitalisation
• A substantial share of firms are not implementing any state-of-the-art digital technologies and do not have
plans to invest in digitalisation
• Small Manufacturing firms and old small firms in services are significantly more likely to be and remain
non-active in terms of digitalization
• There are no significant differences between the EU and the US in terms of having more or fewer
persistently non-digital firms
• Main barriers: Staff with right skills, External finance

To help businesses big and small to harness the full potential of AI, we will invest in a network of local digital innovation hubs and in centres of excellence for advanced research and education.

Innovation experiments: how do they work?
EuroCPS – Encore Lab Sustainable agriculture
powered by smart
technologies
The Spanish SME Encore Lab, with the help of
the Digital Innovation Hub CEA Leti, developed a
low cost device that monitors the crops directly
on the field through sensors. Information on
different parameters can be accessed it by the
farmer on the cloud.
Impact
Consortium • 35% reduction in use of pesticides
End-users Supply Research • 50% reduction in water consumption
• Encore Lab • ST Micro- • CEA Leti (FR) • This technology has been successfully
(ES) electronics integrated in Cesens, Encore Lab’s flagship
(FR)
product. They expect to increase sales in
10,000 units within five years, boosting
https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/sustainable-agriculture- revenues and doubling its staff to 20 people.

Digital Europe Programme
building the strategic digital capacities of the EU
Why What
• Compete globally
• Achieve scale through collective co-investments
• Regain control over Europe’s value chains and
ensure Europe’s technological sovereignty
• Better address Europe’s economic and societal
challenges
• Ensure broad take-up of digital technologies
across all regions of EU
• Support SMEs to acquire/access latest
technologies and skills

The EDIH setup
How
9
The “EU-local” approach
One EDIH “within working distance” for every business in EU
SME/public
entity
A network to put any company in contact with the competence they need,
wherever in the EU
Local DIH
A network where every EDIH can learn from and collaborate with other
EDIHs and other projects supported under Digital Europe Programme
Supported by the Digital Transformation Accelerator
Digital
Transformation
Accelerator
European NetworkNetwork of EDIHs
Capacity building of EDIHs:
• Grant for facilities and people to work in the hub, 50%
co-funded EU/MS or regions (ERDF may be used)
• Access to European capacities for digital
transformation in HPC, AI, Cyber
• Access to knowledge and facilities of other EDIHs
• Supported by “Digital Transformation Accelerator”, a
central node that animates the network
• Networking events
• Training the hubs
• Best practice sharing
• Interactive map of digital capacities

Given the importance of Artificial Intelligence and its wide applicability in all
sectors, at least one of the hubs selected in each country will be specialised in AI.

excellence
EDIH capacity building:
- Exchange of experience, good practices
- A more mature DIH helps a less mature
- Learning from specialists in HPC, Cy, AI
- Advanced training, train-the-trainer
- Use new solutions developed by the
HPC, Cy Competence Centres and AI
world class reference sites

GEARING UP TOWARDS EUROPEAN DIGITAL
INNOVATION HUBS – on-line event
Objectives:
• Explain the role of European Digital Innovation Hubs for Europe’s economic recovery
• For regions and Member States: Understand how they can co-finance the hubs and ensure
that regional and national needs are satisfied. Member States and Regions may decide to
invest together in common EDIHs serving different regions in different countries.
• For individual hubs
• Understand how they can fulfil the 4 functions of an EDIH.
• To learn on how to set up an EDIH, practical questions
• To understand and shape the cooperation models possible between EDIH
• The role of EDIHs in Digital Europe Programme
• Understand the role of the Digital Transformation Accelerator to animate the network of
EDIHs – first of all between EDIHs, but also with other ecosystemsKeep in touch
