Digital Innovation Hub of the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics Czech Technical University in Prague, in close collaboration with the National Centre for Industry 4.0, provides the Czech industry with research capacities and know-how transfer.

Digital Innovation Hub of the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics Czech Technical University in Prague serves as a one-stop-shop that helps companies and public institutions to become more competitive by implementing digital technologies.

The National Centre for Industry 4.0  at CIIRC was founded with the aim to contribute to the implementation of Industry 4.0 principles in the Czech Republic with emphasis on small and medium size enterprises and to spread awareness about the Industry 4.0 and Society 4.0 concepts. It serves as an important source of information about technological solutions and the impact of technological advancement on society and provides close cooperation between academic and industrial departments in areas of concern with aim to stimulate exchange of experience and best practices. It helps design, develop, connect and effectively operate a network of testbeds for Industry 4.0 located at CTU in Prague, Technical Universtiy in Brno and other institutions. It also supports know-how transfer into industry including innovative forms of start-ups and managed innovations.

In the first phase the Centre has been established as an independent financial and operating unit under the auspices of Czech Center for Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics at CTU. The Centre is using the key infrastructure of Industry 4.0 Testbed in CTU. A similar or compatible infrastructure will be later on created at Technical University in Brno and other universities.

The Cyprus Digital Innovation Hub (CyDI-Hub) is the largest regional network of the most prestigious research, innovation, industry and governmental   organisations, utilizing state of the art infrastructure, in order to bring the fourth digital revolution in Cyprus by offering cutting-edge digital technology innovations and services to the industry. CyDI-Hub is a non profit organisation that coordinates the Hub activities.

CyDI-Hub caters for the specific needs and gaps of enterprises in its region, particularly SMEs, manufacturing companies and stakeholders nationwide. CyDI-Hub is primarily supporting both the manufacturing industry and public bodies. In addition, key sectors highlighted in Smart Specialisation Strategy will be supported, including health, agriculture, energy, and tourism. Finally, key sectors with increased economic output such as public administration, transport and wholesale/retail trade will be supported. CYDI-Hub is committed to make an impact towards accelerating and enhancing R&D&I investment towards the direction of industry digitisation. Digital technologies.

Cybersecurity innovation hub creates a multidisciplinary ecosystem of research institutions, governmental bodies, clusters and private companies focused on cooperation, information sharing, research and implementation of cutting-edge technologies in cybersecurity. The creation of this ecosystem is based on long-term strategic cooperation between Masaryk University, Brno University of Technology, the National Cyber and Information Security Agency and the Brno Regional Chamber of Commerce, which led to the creation of a wide network of cooperating key players in cybersecurity at national and international level.

The key features of the hub are its multidisciplinarity, a wide range of cooperating national and international, public and private institutions, as well as the possibility of utilising unique infrastructures. Partners involved in the operation of the hub retain experts dealing with cybersecurity issues not only from a technical perspective, but also from a procedural, organizational, legal, economic or sociological point of view. The hub also cooperates with and provides support to variety of national public authorities (like National Cyber and Information Security Authority, Ministry of Justice, Czech Police, or Data Protection Authority), international institutions (ENISA, Europol or United Nations), private clusters, trade organisations, scientific parks and private corporations. As some of the partners of the hub are research organisations and innovative companies, the hub can utilise their research, development and production infrastructures (ie. cyber ranges, training facilities, security operations centres, proving grounds or testing infrastructures).

Activities and services of the hub provided to the SMEs include primarily:

networking, know-how, and capacities sharing;  
information and cybersecurity education: training, learning, conferences, workshops;  
sharing information on current trends in computer network security;  
proposals for adjusting information security legislation;  
communication with computer network security organizations and associations;
creating information security education programs;
provision of access to unique auxiliary infrastructures;
consultation on available innovative cybersecurity technologies and their implementation; 
etc.

The hub is a non-profit organisation coordinated by the National centre of competence on cybersecurity, which is governed by its Board which consists of representatives of key private and public stakeholders in cybersecurity in the Czech Republic. Digital technologies.

CYBERSEC HUB as a non-profit organization coordinated by the Instytut Kościuszki (http://www.ik.org.pl) supports the development of the Polish national cybersecurity system, which plays a critical role in safeguarding the digital transformation of the country.

On the one hand, CYBERSEC HUB accelerates the growth and facilitates the access to external markets of the Polish innovative cybersecurity startups and SMEs, while on the other it brings foreign investors to the region. In this sense, SMEs, startups and entrepreneurs teams  have been supported in accessing several types of facilities used to prototype and test their latest digital solutions. 

The DIH contributes to the development of the CEE cybersecurity ecosystem and community by organising dedicated programmes, events and publishing the European Cybersecurity Market magazine.

CYBERSEC HUB aims to become a one-stop shop for cybersecurity solutions for local SMEs, big companies, international corporates, public administrations and critical infrastructure operations. 

The hub builds on the synergy between stakeholders from the Małopolska Region in Poland, with the city of Krakow as its strategic center. Krakow is one of the largest start-up hubs in Europe with over two hundred ICT businesses, unparalleled investment opportunities, and access to talent, funding and the entire EU market. This unique environment is what attracts global IT companies to the area, many of whom have already moved their Research, Development and Security Operations Centres to Małopolska. Krakow also hosts the European Cybersecurity Forum - CYBERSEC, one of the main public policy conferences on cybersecurity.

DIHs is part of the consultation process, and will be included as one of the stakeholder, in the emerging National Industry 4.0 Platform that the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Technology of Poland is developing.
