ICT Cluster is a partner in European project BOWI (Boosting Widening Digital Innovation Hubs), financed under Horizon 2020 program call for Digitizing and transforming European Industry and services: digital innovation hubs and platforms.

The project addresses the challenges of limited capacities among DIHs to support the uptake of SAE/I4MS technologies.

The overall objective of BOWI is to create a DIH widening network that supports the collaboration of new DIHs (proto-hubs) and mature hubs. The network will:

• Strengthen proto-hubs by carrying out actual experiments and facilitating the collaboration between proto-hubs and mature hubs;
• Ensuring sustainability of BOWI network by developing a blended financing accelerator and membership model,
• Creating the BOWI community, initiating the participation of proto-hubs, matures hubs and regional stakeholders and investors,

ICT Cluster is participating in the network as a leader of one of the 6 proto-hubs DIGITech 4.0.

The project started 1 January 2020 and has duration 42 months.
