The European Commission has officially launched the EDIH 2.0 Call for Proposals, a key funding opportunity that aims to consolidate and strengthen the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) Network, with a particular emphasis on enhancing AI capabilities across Europe.
Under the EU’s Digital Europe Programme, this initiative represents the next evolution of the EDIH programme and targets the reinforcement of AI expertise within the network, addressing the growing demand for advanced technologies in both private and public sectors.
Why apply
By securing this funding, EDIHs can expand their AI-related services and better support organisations in their digital transformation paths.
The funding opportunity is designed to:
-
advance AI capabilities within the EDIH Network;
-
support digital transformation of companies and public entities;
-
improve cross-border collaboration between EDIHs.
The initiative also aligns perfectly with the EU’s broader digital strategy, which emphasises AI, cybersecurity and digital innovation as key pillars to keep Europe at the forefront of technological progress.
Who can apply
All recognised EDIHs and Seals of Excellence in the EU and the European Economic Area are eligible to submit applications.
