EDIH VILNIUS

Responding to the DIGITAL-2021-EDIH-01-INITIAL call, EDIH VILNIUS is submitting the proposal with a goal to enable the EDIH VILNIUS to effectively support the digital and green transformation of SMEs and public sector organisations in the Vilnius region. The specific objectives of the project directly correspond to the objectives of the call and are the following:
(1) to ensure full integration of the EDIH VILNIUS into a common network of EDIHs in order to facilitate effective international cooperation and service provision as well as identify and cover the needs of Vilnius region SMEs and public sector organisations in a field of digital and green transformation by providing a full package of integrated services
(2) to upgrade the capacity of the EDIH VILNIUS to ensure the proper provision of these services
(3) to build networks between EDIH VILNIUS and other relevant organisations in Europe and worldwide in order to ensure sharing of capacities and knowledge, especially, in the fields of High Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Advanced Digital Skills.

Moreover, the project will directly contribute to the overall Digital Europe Programme objectives as EDIH VILNIUS will become a part of EDIHs network on the EU level and will help to cover a specific EU region (Vilnius region, Lithuania). EDIH VILNIUS is already a mature consortium which is deeply engaged in its activities. At the moment the consortium brings together digital technology expertise, with the specific focus on AI technologies, in different sectors as well as infrastructure needed to provide high quality services in the Vilnius region. Therefore, EDIH VILNIUS is able to ensure a successful implementation of the project and its objectives. The project will help members of EDIH VILNIUS to better combine their forces, infrastructure and competencies for a common goal - comprehensive digital and green transformation of Lithuanian industry, SMEs and public sector organisations.
