On September 21, 2023, the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) of the Northern Alliance met at the Digital Hub Logistics in the Hafencity in Hamburg for a joint exchange.
The Northern Alliance, consisting of EDIH Hamburg, EDIH Schleswig-Holstein and the Digital Innovation Hub for Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity (DAISEC) based in Hanover, started the day with a warm welcome at the Digital Hub Logistics.
EDIH experts from various fields came together to share their experience and knowledge.
The subsequent round of introductions provided a good opportunity to get to know the different backgrounds and areas of expertise of those present.
Initial commonalities and areas of interest were also identified.
Subsequently, topics were presented that were to be explored in greater depth in small groups.
These included participant acquisition, event planning and implementation, showrooms and demonstrators, as well as the important topic of cyber security.
In three rooms of the Digital Hub Logistics co-working space, the participants then came together in break-out sessions for intensive discussions on the respective topics.
Valuable insights and solutions were developed that will offer concrete added value for future collaboration.
After the lunch break, the EDIHs met again to present the results from the small groups.
This exchange was of great importance to all those present, as it forms the basis for the EDIH Northern Alliance’s next steps.
In addition, it was discussed how individual collaboration on previously identified topics can be organized.
This includes, for example, the exchange of demonstrators and the organization of joint events.
In future, the EDIH Northern Alliance would like to meet regularly for these exchange rounds, online or as a guest in one of the other centers, because the intensive discussion of various topics or even common problem areas and the constructive exchange of ideas make a significant contribution to strengthening cooperation between the hubs and putting future projects on the right track.
