EDIH project
The Grand Est European digital hub fosters the digital transformation of companies in the Grand Est region

The European Digital Innovation Hub can be described as a one-stop-shop where manufacturing companies & providers of solutions can find resources (technologies, training, sources of funding, etc.) to digitalise their operations, particularly in the fields of AI and Cybersecurity.
This initiative is in keeping with the Grand Est region’s transformation paths and the Grand Est Développement Solutions Resource and Expertise Centres (e.g. Grand Est Transformation).
Project goals
Overall goal
EDIH GE makes it easier for SMEs, intermediate-sized companies and providers of industrial solutions in the Grand Est to access AI and cybersecurity technologies from public and private research, allowing them to experiment and improve skills. The project, coordinated by Grand Est Développement, the regional agency for transformation, is led by 11 Grand Est institutions that are pooling their expertise for the benefit of the region’s industrial companies.
Specific goals
- Support regional companies in transitioning to innovative technologies through experimentation
- Facilitate access to training programmes, talent and funding
- Create partnerships with the 150 other EDIH regional hubs in Europe
- Reduce regional disparities by boosting cooperation between EDI
Our 3-year goals, in figures
- 300 regional companies examined over 3 years (assessment of digital maturity)
- 170 support schemes for experimentation
- 500 people trained
- 80 companies supported financially
