Description

The Greater Copenhagen European Digital Innovation Hub (GC EDIH) supports the dual purpose of 1) establishing an EDIH specialising in life science, health tech and built environment within a European EDIH network and 2) enabling digital transformation and innovation in SMEs within computing continuum and artificial intelligence. The GC EDIH has a total budget of 3.1 M EUR, corresponding to 1.5 M EUR of EU requested funding, and a total of national co-funding of 1.7 M EUR. The ambition of the GC EDIH is to improve the quality of life for people in Greater Copenhagen and beyond by pushing advanced digital technologies into SMEs. The implementation of AI and computing continuum holds great promise for improving the general health and well-being of society. The technologies will impact a wide range of applications e.g., administration, logistics, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The primary target group is SMEs within the life science, health tech, and built environment, and SMEs that develop solutions to these areas. The secondary target group consists of the downstream and upstream value chains of the SMEs. The GC EDIH will support their digital transformation by strengthening awareness, skills, and competencies, and providing access to networks, end-users, funding, and testing facilities. Impact is measured though the following KPIs: KPI1: 160 SMEs have participated in 1 or more GC EDIH activities within the project period KPI2: GC EDIH have collaborated with at least 18 EDIHs and other stakeholders at national and European level KPI3: 21 million EUR have been triggered in additional funding or investments for SMEs KPI4: 90 SMEs have increased their digital maturity level KPI5: 45 SMEs will have developed new innovations The GC EDIH consortium which builds upon well-established structures in the Danish business development and innovation ecosystem consists of 10 partners: 2 regional business hubs, 2 clusters, 4 universities, and 2 RTOs.
