DigIT Hub Sweden builds on the solid foundation of DigIT Hub, the existing regional DIH in Skåne and Blekinge that has been in operation since 2020. EDIH also includes Kronoberg, which means that DigIT Hub Sweden reaches a larger target group and exploits the synergies in the three southernmost regions of Sweden. The overall goal of DigIT Hub Sweden is to: - Increase and accelerate growth and productivity through digitalisation for small and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry, thereby increasing their competitiveness both nationally and internationally. Catalyse and drive the digital transformation of the public sector. DigIT Hub Sweden's thematic focus - Smart Manufacturing and Smart Cities - is closely linked to the three regions' smart specialisation strategies. DigIT Hub Sweden also has strong knowledge in the DEP-priority technology areas of AI, cybersecurity and HPC, with already established partnerships both at national and European level.
