Initiative overview

The Netherlands’ network of six European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) provides tailored support for the digital transformation of both businesses and public institutions. Five hubs concentrate on advancing private-sector competitiveness, helping SMEs adopt AI, cloud, and data-driven technologies, while one hub is dedicated to public-sector innovation, guiding authorities in applying digital tools to improve services.

These hubs act as regional entry points into the EU-wide EDIH ecosystem, giving Dutch organisations access to expertise, testbeds, funding opportunities, and cross-border collaborations. They seek to lower barriers to AI uptake, ensuring that companies and public bodies alike can explore and implement trustworthy and efficient digital solutions.
