Rural Industry DIH ensures that sparsely populated areas also have the opportunity to fully exploit their growth potential in the digital revolution. The digitalisation of business is the core of operations. It will be pursued through research and development, training, product development and production process support, financial instruments and international networking. The impetus for these actions is a strategy for smart specialization in EU regions, with support for the digitalisation of SMEs at the heart.

Rural Industry DIH helps businesses grow. The businesses have at their disposal the strongest team of experts in the region in both digital technologies and business development. The digital innovation hub will support businesses in new steps, whether it is process quality work, staff training, product development bottlenecks, or end-product verification testing. Through the hub, you may can also get involved in research and development projects as an active player.

Rural Industry DIH is already networked with its players in many directions. We organize seminars and demo events on various topics, to which we invite the leading players in our region. Rural industry DIH is part of the pan-European DIH network, which allows you to easily establish international connections. We are actively involved in the European Commission’s smart specialization activities, and we are constantly developing our international network of RDI actors in many different projects and clusters.
