Opis projekta:
SRC-EDIH 2.0 je evropsko središče za digitalne inovacije, ki si prizadeva pospešiti digitalno preobrazbo MSP. SRC-EDIH z bogatim strokovnim znanjem na področju umetne inteligence, robotike in kibernetske varnosti podjetjem omogoča, da s sprejetjem naprednih digitalnih tehnologij povečajo svojo inovacijsko zmogljivost, učinkovitost in konkurenčnost. SRC-EDIH 2.0 izhaja iz obstoječega SRC-EDIH, ki se financira v okviru programa Digitalna Evropa (GA št. 101083351 - Pametne, odporne in trajnostne skupnosti - Evropsko vozlišče za digitalne inovacije).
Vozlišče ponuja celovite storitve, vključno s priložnostmi za testiranje pred investiranjem, podporo pri iskanju naložb, programi usposabljanja in razvoja spretnosti ter dostopom do regionalnih in evropskih inovacijskih ekosistemov. S povezovanjem z evropskimi pobudami, kot so platforma AI-on-Demand, tovarne umetne inteligence ter zmogljivosti za testiranje in eksperimentiranje (TEF), SRC-EDIH zagotavlja, da imajo MSP koristi od najsodobnejših tehnologij in strokovnega znanja, kar podpira nemoteno digitalno pot. SRC-EDIH kot prva kontaktna točka za umetno inteligenco pomaga podjetjem pri testiranju in sprejemanju rešitev umetne inteligence, prilagojenih njihovim posebnim potrebam, hkrati pa zagotavlja začetne smernice glede skladnosti z zakonom o umetni inteligenci ter spodbuja odgovorno in etično uporabo digitalnih tehnologij. S svojimi storitvami vozlišče podpira podjetja tudi pri ocenjevanju okoljskih in gospodarskih učinkov digitalnih inovacij pred večjimi naložbami. SRC-EDIH s pospeševanjem digitalne zrelosti in spodbujanjem uvajanja evropskih tehnologij umetne inteligence prispeva k dvojnemu digitalnemu in zelenemu prehodu ter krepi tehnološko vodstvo, trajnost in odpornost Evrope.

Description:
SRC-EDIH 2.0 is a European Digital Innovation Hub committed to accelerating the digital transformation of SMEs. With strong expertise in artificial intelligence, robotics, and cybersecurity, SRC-EDIH empowers companies to enhance their innovation capacity, efficiency, and competitiveness through the adoption of advanced digital technologies. SRC-EDIH 2.0 originates from the existing SRC-EDIH, which is funded under the Digital Europe Programme (GA No. 101083351 – Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Communities – European Digital Innovation Hub).
The hub offers comprehensive services, including test-before-invest opportunities, support to find investment, training and skills development programs, and access to regional and European innovation ecosystems. By connecting to European initiatives such as the AI-on-Demand Platform, AI Factories, and Testing and Experimentation Facilities (TEFs), SRC-EDIH ensures that SMEs benefit from cutting-edge technologies and expertise, supporting a seamless digital journey. As a first-line AI contact point, SRC-EDIH helps companies test and adopt AI solutions tailored to their specific needs, while providing initial guidance on compliance with the AI Act and promoting the responsible and ethical use of digital technologies. Through its services, the hub also supports companies in evaluating the environmental and economic impacts of digital innovations before major investments. By advancing digital maturity and encouraging the uptake of European AI technologies, SRC-EDIH contributes to the twin digital and green transitions, reinforcing Europe’s technological leadership, sustainability, and resilience.
