Description
Suppose we are familiar with the economic structure of the European Union. In that case, we know that industry is one of the essential pillars. According to the latest data, the manufacturing sector accounts for around 2 million companies, 33 million jobs, and about 60% of productivity growth. But digitisation in Europe has three significant problems: Competition with other regions is very high; SMEs do not have many resources to digitise and are falling behind; finally, there are significant disparities within the regions of the European Union itself. This is where the commitment and value of the European Digital Innovation Hubs come in, as they can solve two of the significant problems of digitisation in Europe, unifying procedures not only with companies and entities but also between regions and countries, giving them all the same opportunities; in addition to supporting companies, especially SMEs, in their digital transformation, not only advising but also comprehensively accompanying users, facilitating the entire process. According to recent studies, it has been estimated that the digitisation of products and services can add more than 110 billion euros of annual revenue to the European economy in the next five years. Therefore, this panel will provide all the relevant information regarding the European Union's commitment to developing European Digital Innovation Hubs to digitise industry and territorial development.
