In recent years, there has been a growing demand for digital innovation hubs. Moreover, there is a demand for digital innovation hubs to increase their capacity to support the uptake of the so-called ‘SmartAnythingEverywhere’ initatives (SAE/I4MS). Failing to do this, the European industry could be at a major disadvantage. The EU-funded BOWI project aims to develop a digital innovation hub widening network that will support the cooperation of new and old digital innovation hubs. It will strengthen proto-hubs with experiments, facilitate the collaboration between proto-hubs and mature hubs, ensure the sustainability of the BOWI network with its financing model and create the network’s community with the participation of proto-hubs, mature hubs, regional stakeholders and investors to bring energetic support for SAE/I4MS technologies.
