European Digital Innovation Hub - Energy in the Built Environment (Research)

The EDIH-EBE focus is on sectoral coverage on Energy in Buildings and Districts, and as such, positions itself with focus and specialism for digitalisation within sector-coupling between Construction, Energy and ICT. Its main objective is to act as a central access point, a "One-stop-hub" in providing range of services with the ultimate goal to support SMEs, small mid-caps and public sector organisations towards successful digital transformation. The 'hub' is based on the strong mobilisation of the excellent competences/expertise and infrastructure/facilities already available in Flanders and starts as highly prepared to implement the proposed services. Customers will be supported with knowledge and expertise in (forward looking) digital technologies, trainings to increase competences in skilled work force, networking/info sessions/ matchmaking events for improving awareness and bringing together actors of supply and demand in digital solutions, access investments for cost of equipment and software, and testing and experimenting environment to experience benefits leading to higher productivity, better technical performance, new business models and services.
