DIH4CAT header

The Digital Innovation Hub of Catalonia is a non-profit regional innovation ecosystem, formed by the main support agents for the digitalization of Catalonia, whose objective is to drive the technological transformation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (with a special focus on industrial sectors and technology providers), technological start-ups, and public entities.

The technological areas of DIH4CAT are organized into different Digital Innovation Nodes (NID) specialized in advanced technologies and are coordinated by reference competence centers in Catalonia.

  • Artificial Intelligence We promote the transfer of knowledge and the realization of joint projects between knowledge-generating entities (universities, research and innovation centers), technology and service provider companies, and companies and institutions that demand innovative solutions in artificial intelligence.
  • Supercomputing It is the access platform to solutions and services based on high-performance computing for the industrial sector and public administrations, in order to drive their digital and technological transformation.
  • Cybersecurity It was created with the mission of facilitating a cyber-secure digitalization of the business fabric. We support SMEs from awareness and diagnosis, action guidance and technological consulting, to support in searching for partners and suppliers.
  • Intelligent Connectivity It offers SMEs and the public sector the opportunity to work with and test all those technologies that allow people, devices, buildings, automobiles, etc., to connect to the network and to each other to intelligently exchange, process, and analyze data.
  • Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing The IAM3DHUB is a digital innovation center; its mission is to accelerate the adoption and development of additive manufacturing and 3D printing technologies as an alternative way to design, develop, and produce new products.
  • Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics We support companies in the digital transformation of their manufacturing processes, operations management, and the development of intelligent products, including environmental aspects.
  • Photonics The impact of photonics is very cross-cutting and can add value to environments as varied as health, communications, the environment, or the aerospace sector, among many others.
  • Cross-cutting Services These are services provided by support organizations that are not directly linked to a specific node or technology but are provided within the framework of DIH4CAT.

Estimated impact

  • Offer services to help the digitalization of Catalan companies.
  • Create a European network of EDIHs (European Digital Innovation Hubs).
  • Create a national and regional ecosystem around DIH4CAT.
