3. EOSC-hub
Services for the European Open Science Cloud
The EOSC-hub project mobilises providers from the EGI Federation,
EUDAT CDI, INDIGO-DataCloud and major research e-infrastructures to
jointly offer services, software and data for advanced data-driven
research and innovation.
These resources are offered via the Hub – the integration and
management system of the European Open Science Cloud, acting as a
single entry point for all stakeholders.

4. Digital Innovation Hubs
• What is a Digital Innovation Hub?
• EC initiative definition: An ecosystem of start-ups, SMEs, large industries, researchers, accelerators and
investors that fosters the creation of partnerships to stimulate innovation.
• Objective: Establish a Pan-European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs)
• Status: 100+ DIHs registered comprising both regional and European ones that focus on a variety of
sectors and topics https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/digital-innovation-hubs
