experiment digital innovations.
2. Industry 4.0 means opportunities and challenges. The DIH supports companies on the
track to leverage opportunities and face those challenges.
3. The DIH as physical infrastructure consists on a set of nodes organized in a network of
facilities (pilot plants, digital infrastructures, etc), all organized in a coherent
architecture.
4. The DIH network property belongs to all participating actors (RTOs, academia, private
companies…) and receives support of regional public authorities.
5. The DIH network will be used to foster strategic R&D collaborative projects, start up
escalation, technology test beds etc.
