On 4 May 2023, from 14.00 to 16.00 CEST, the Policy Learning Platform is organising an online debate on the strategic and operational challenges of the new European Digital Innovation Centres (EDIHs).

The interest in this topic emerged after a matchmaking session that took place in November 2022 on how to integrate a new EDIH into regional ecosystems. The debate showed that the strategic and operational set-up of the recently selected EDIHs is posing similar challenges across Europe.

Therefore, during this online debate, we will discuss in particular the following aspects:

• Positioning of the EDIH in terms of services
• Positioning of the EDIH in terms of ecosystems
• Positioning of the EDIH in terms of policies and strategies
