Description

In today’s fast-changing technological landscape, digital transformation has become critical to ensuring the competitiveness and resilience of businesses and public services. The LEAP European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) is designed to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the public sector in Western Ukraine to harness the potential of digital technologies. By leveraging expertise in cybersecurity, IoT, AI, and other cutting-edge digital solutions, the LEAP EDIH provides essential services such as testing before investing, workforce training and skills development, support for accessing investments, and networking opportunities with innovation ecosystems.

With a strong regional presence across Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Volyn, and Rivne, the LEAP EDIH capitalizes on Lviv's position as a technological hub and the most prominent IT center in Western Ukraine. Backed by the Lviv IT Cluster, Ukraine’s most prominent technology association, and its partners, the LEAP EDIH builds on over a decade of experience supporting digital transformation, fostering public-private collaboration, and enhancing regional competitiveness.

The LEAP EDIH aims to strengthen regional industries, including the creative economy, bioeconomy, healthcare, tourism, and manufacturing, by facilitating the adoption of innovative digital tools. The LEAP EDIH seeks to enhance the region’s digital maturity and drive sustainable economic growth through cross-sector collaboration, digital upskilling, and international partnerships. Expected outcomes include increased digital adoption, enhanced workforce readiness, and stronger connections between Ukrainian SMEs, public entities, and European digital innovation networks.
