Digital MERIT present at DEDEP.eu Webinar: Boost the impact of Digital Europe Projects

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Digital MERIT was represented by Digital Innovation Zone at the webinar Boost the Impact of Digital Europe Projects, organized by DEDEP.eu. This webinar had over 120 participants, all eager to explore how dissemination and exploitation strategies can amplify the impact of Digital Europe Programme projects.

DEDEP.eu is an initiative funded by the Digital Europe Programme. Its mission is to foster the adoption of the programme’s outcomes through tailored dissemination and exploitation actions. By bridging the gap between innovative projects and market adoption, DEDEP.eu plays an important role in driving Europe’s digital transformation.

The event provided a platform for several European projects funded by the Digital Europe Programme to showcase their objectives and achievements, all aligned with advancing the #DigitalEurope agenda. These projects address critical topics, including:

Climate Change: Leveraging digital solutions to mitigate environmental challenges.
Cybersecurity: Enhancing resilience in a digital-first world.
Digital Agri-Food Solutions: Empowering the agriculture and food sectors with cutting-edge technologies.
SME Digitalization: Supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in adopting digital tools.

The Digital Europe Programme seeks to position Europe as a leader in digital innovation by accelerating the uptake of digital technologies across public and private sectors. To achieve this, dissemination and exploitation strategies must:

Address stakeholder needs effectively.
Highlight the tangible benefits of products or services.
Utilize networks to connect with relevant communities.

To ensure success, strategies should cater to a diverse range of innovations, from innovative solutions to more standard offerings. For SMEs, additional support services or infrastructure may also be necessary to facilitate adoption.
