Description

Circular Health European Digital Innovation Hub (CHEDIH) is focused on the applicative area of circular health: the connection between human health and the health of animals, plants and the environment. Its targets are health and agri-food small ane medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and public administrations (PAs) in Piedmont and the Aosta Valley in Italy. It coordinates universities, Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs), innovation clusters, industrial associations, chambers of commerce, public and private ICT providers, higher technical institutes, independent financial consultants, incubators, accelerators, Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) nodes, Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) Institutes of Innovation & Technology (EITs) in Health and Food. The expertise is focused on artificial intelligence (AI), high performance computing (HPC) (as part of the  EuroHPC Digital Europe (DE) programme), cybersecurity and blockchain for traceability, but does not disregard higher technology readiness level (TRL) solutions given the low level of digitalization of its customers.

To ensure a truly European dimension, CHEDIH have created a network of EDIHs around Europe: 22 EDIH candidates specialising in health or agri-food have signed a multilateral agreement to share a common catalogue of services, and coordinate with the Digital Transformation Accelerator (DTA).

Its pipeline of services includes: 1) networking to engage customers in innovative solutions such as the social networking platform FirstLife and artistic performances;. 2) a digital readiness assessment and a green assessment to produce a digital roadmap, identifying technologies and training needs;. 3) testing before investing to exploit the technological expertise of universities and ICT providers;. 4)  short reskilling courses, massive online open courses (MOOCs) and integration with the wider higher education systems 5) support for customers in building a business plan, and finding public or private funding, provided  by an independent financial advisor​   and an international law firm expert in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and also through InvestEU and Startup Europe.

Circular Health European Digital Innovation Hub (CHEDIH) è incentrato sull'area applicativa della salute circolare: la connessione tra la salute umana e la salute degli animali, delle piante e dell'ambiente. I suoi target sono le piccole e medie imprese (PMI) e le pubbliche amministrazioni (PA) in ambito salute e agroalimentare del Piemonte e della Valle d'Aosta in Italia. L’Università di Torino coordina un consorzio composto da Digital Innovation Hub (DIH), cluster di innovazione, associazioni industriali, camere di commercio, provider ICT pubblici e privati, istituti di formazione superiore, consulenti finanziari indipendenti, incubatori, acceleratori, nodi Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), Knowledge and Innovation Comunities (KIC) nel campo della salute e dell'alimentazione. Le competenze si concentrano su intelligenza artificiale (AI), calcolo ad alte prestazioni (HPC) (nell'ambito del programma EuroHPC Digital Europe (DE)), sicurezza informatica e blockchain per la tracciabilità, ma non trascurano le soluzioni con un Technology Readiness Leval (TRL) più elevato dato il basso livello di digitalizzazione dei propri clienti.

Per garantire una dimensione veramente europea, CHEDIH ha creato una rete di EDIH in tutta Europa: 22 candidati EDIH specializzati in salute o agroalimentare hanno firmato un accordo multilaterale per condividere un catalogo comune di servizi e coordinarsi con il Digital Transformation Accelerator (DTA) .

La sua pipeline di servizi include: 1) networking per coinvolgere i clienti in soluzioni innovative come la piattaforma di social networking FirstLife e performance artistiche; 2) un assesment della maturità digitale e green per produrre una roadmap digitale, identificando le tecnologie e le esigenze di formazione; 3) testing before investing per sfruttare le competenze tecnologiche delle università e dei provider ICT; 4) corsi brevi di riqualificazione, corsi online (MOOC) e integrazione con il più ampio sistema di istruzione superiore; 5) supporto ai clienti nella costruzione di un business plan e nella ricerca di finanziamenti pubblici o privati, fornito da un consulente finanziario indipendente e uno studio legale internazionale esperto in fusioni e acquisizioni (M&A) e anche attraverso InvestEU e Startup Europe.
