Education – In DIH² one of its goals is to support the uptake of innovation in manufacturing SMEs. To deliver this ambition, they’ve designed a series of training modules that are freely available to the Network members.
Digitization Audit – The Digitization Audit tool is designed to help DIHs assess the digital maturity level of a manufacturing SME. It’s also a great way for DIHs to meet potential new customers for their services.
- The tool is designed to be easy-to-use by LERs or other experts within a DIH and is delivered through face-to-face contact with key decision makers in a manufacturing setting.
- It will help a local DIH expand its CRM database, obtain in-depth knowledge of its clients (KYC) and understand industrial sectoral challenges across Europe.
