This type of support aims to support companies, in particular SMEs and start-ups.ups, in increasing competitiveness and improving their business models, but also in organizations and public administration by finding appropriate sources of financing enabling the implementation of innovations and new technologies, including those supported by our EDIH in the field of Smart City.

Our EDIH services include: supporting and preparing access to financial institutions and investors, supporting the use of InvestEU and other appropriate financing mechanisms, in close cooperation with other EU programs and funds and the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN).

In particular, for the public sector, as one of the largest purchasers of ICT, this service also provides support to exploit the potential and develop the purchasing power of the public sector, transforming it into a large purchaser of innovation.
