Take Part as a Company

Move forward with the Digital Hub Initiative. You can find solutions for every challenge associated with digitisation here. Businesses can make the most of cross-network offerings, get to know the Hubs and what they do, and contact start-ups.

Get to know the initiative

The de:hub journey is aimed at German SMEs

The de:hub journey is aimed at the owners and decision-makers of German SMEs. It takes them through the initiative’s Hubs, making it possible for them to work together to identify the potential offered by digital technology, processes and business models and utilise these opportunities for their business. On the way, participants are given an insight into the work done by the Digital Hubs. They also visit test labs and co-working spaces. This gives them the chance to get to know start-ups and potential cooperation partners.

With the right questions to your digital transformation

The Innovation Guide

A chatbot recognises the digital needs of a company and suggests suitable programmes for further development - that is the Innovation Guide of the Digital Hub Initiative. SMEs and corporations can answer questions posed by the bot and then receive suggestions for programmes from the initiative and the Hubs that can advance the company's digital transformation. 

Our Hubs offer tasters and collaboration opportunities
