Digital Innovation Hubs: dynamic facilitation and thrust from regional innovation agencies

Project description

A regional focus on Europe’s digital innovation

Digital innovation hubs are one-stop-shops helping companies – small or large, high-tech or not – become more competitive with regard to their business/production processes, products or services. The European Commission is investing in these hubs to support businesses in their digital transformation. The EU-funded DIHnamic project focuses on digital innovation hubs in Castilla y León (Spain), a region that has supported SMEs for more than 20 years. It will also review services delivered by other digital innovation hubs around Europe. DIHnamic is set to create a cascade funding line focused on the hubs, establishing a treatment and a control group. It will provide start-ups with incubation/acceleration services. It also aims to sustain a mentoring programme on funding schemes and explore other mechanisms.

Objective

ICE (formerly ADE) has been the innovation support agency for the SMEs in the region of Castilla y León (Spain) for more than 20 years. ICE has acted as the orchestrator of the Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) in Castilla y León, promoting the transfer of technology and new innovation practices and projects in the SMEs that will derive in the digitisation of the regional industry. The overall objective of the DIHnamic project is to verify, at a large-scale, new innovative facilitation services that have been already piloted with success, orchestrated by means of the dynamic facilitation and thrust of the Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) in the region of Castilla y León, and other DIHs across Europe, addressed at SMEs from Castilla y León, and its dissemination at the European level throughout innovation agencies. In this sense, DIHs will be promoted as the ideal one-stop shops for SMEs to facilitate access to innovation services. To that aim, DIHnamic establishes 3 specific objectives: O1. To desing and implement a cascade funding that will provide monetary support to digitalisation support measures aimed at regional SMEs (at least 50 SMEs) thanks to the Digital Innovation Hubs. O2. To explore other innovative facilitation mechanism throughout collaborative work with other agencies. O3. To show the adequateness of the RCT methodology to assess the effectiveness of innovative actions. The DIHnamic project is structured in three main pillars that will run for 36 months: I) mapping and specification of innovation in innovation agencies; II) randomization and intervention in the DIHs; and III) assessment of impact and effectiveness and framework for replication.
