About DigIT Hub Sweden
DigIT Hub Sweden is a European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) that help companies and the public sector digitalise, with financial support from the European Regional Development Fund, Region Skåne, Region Blekinge, and Region Kronoberg.
Background
Digitalisation is a broad concept and the digitalisation needs within each organization varies. Yet, we know that digital technology and infrastructure have a critical role in our private lives and business environments.
Through DigIT Hub Sweden, we use digitalisation as an engine to create sustainable and efficient working methods, strengthened competitiveness, and better adapted services. We help organizations keep up with the digital transition, and meet the expectations of customers, employees and citizens who are becoming increasingly digital.

European Digital Innovation Hub
In 2020, DigIT Hub was established as a regional Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) in southern Sweden. DigIT Hub Sweden has since received status as a European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH).
European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) will function as one-stop shops that help companies dynamically respond to the digital challenges and become more competitive. By providing access to technical expertise and experimentation as well as the possibility to “test before invest”, EDIHs help companies improve business/production processes, products, or services using digital technologies. They also provide innovation services, such as financing advice, training, and skills development that are needed for a successful digital transformation. Environmental issues are also taken into account, in particular with regard to energy consumption and low carbon emissions.
