Digitisation offers numerous advantages to small and medium-sized companies, authorities and start-ups, which are noticeable in extremely different areas. Here are some reasons:

Automation plays an important role. By using automation technologies, processes become more efficient, take less time and therefor save costs. Automation can help with shortage of skilled workers.
Another important aspect is cyber security systems in your computer and machine systems. Investing in modern security technologies protects organizations from attacks on data and systems, minimizing the risk of data loss, operational failures and costs.
Another important aspect is data management. By using modern data management systems, companies can manage their data more efficiently, by analyzing it get better insights and results. This leads to better decision making and can help streamline business processes.

Which leads to the next exciting topic: the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for teaching and predictive maintenance. By using AI systems, companies can train their employees more specifically and without intervention in work processes, by using augmented reality training they improve their skills. AI can also make a valuable contribution in the field of predictive maintenance with machines and systems and thus plan maintenance and servicing work in good time.

In summary, investments in digitization offer enormous advantages and are not always associated with high costs. In this way, you contribute to increasing safety, making employees happier, optimising processes: costs are saved and competitiveness is increased. That is why we recommend every company to deal with the topic of digitization, to use our free offers and then to invest specifically in this area.

Three European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), namely pro_digital EDIH, Robocoast EDIH, and EDIH LT, are collaboratively hosting a webinar focused on ‘Intelligent Security for the Digital Age’ along with several cybersecurity-related workshops. The workshops are organized independently by the respective EDIHs. The first workshop, conducted in German, is hosted by pro_digital EDIH. The second workshop, conducted in English, is hosted by Robocoast EDIH. This collaborative effort aims to provide comprehensive insights into the realm of cybersecurity

On 5th June, our webinar from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and subsequent country-specific workshops from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. will provide you with in-depth insights and practical solutions. 
The interactive format allows you to exchange ideas with our speakers and Partners of the Baltic Region. In compact presentations, workshops and a panel discussion, participants will learn how to strengthen their company's IT security at all levels - from emergency prevention to threats and solutions through AI systems. 
The European Digital Innovation Hubs are committed to the digitalization of SMEs and public institutions in Europe. Through workshops, demonstrators and targeted funding, we support the implementation of innovative, digital technologies.

Added value for participants:

• Recognizing potential risks and vulnerabilities
• Familiarization with best practices for prevention
• Development of a holistic security concept
• Networking with experts for potential follow-up projects

In a world where the startup landscape is steadily becoming more complex and dynamic, traditional management tools are often no longer sufficient. Universities are faced with the challenge of not only supporting start-ups, but also effectively tracking their developments and clearly communicating their potential. This tool also supports universities in fulfilling their role as a catalystfor innovation and entrepreneurship and can thus make a significant contribution to improving the startup culture at academic institutions.

The platform also offers entrepreneurs, especially start-ups, as well as InnovationScouts, access to innovative topics and projects. Projects can, with regard to their progress,ritts and potentials.
