Services

The services outline a growth path aimed at increasing the company’s digital maturity through three phases.

1. Assessment

The company is encouraged to assess its digital strategy in relation to its overall strategy, evaluating a concrete path towards achievable goals with the help of partners and its technology providers. The proposed assessment leads to the definition of a digital strategy aligned with objectives, opportunities, threats, and the available budget.

2. Test before invest

The company can carry out tests, demos, feasibility studies, and Proof of Concept using technologies made available by partners and technology providers. These experimental approaches allow the company to evaluate options before making the planned investments.

3. Training

The entire digital transformation process is supported by a comprehensive catalog of courses on digital transformation topics. These courses cover all business levels: operational, managerial, and executive.

4. Support to find investiments

Support in obtaining and managing public and private funding.

Intensity of aid applied to services

The company that accesses a service receives state aid based on variable intensities, depending on the size of the company and the service provided, as outlined in the table.

The aid does not involve a direct transfer of money to the company but consists of a discount applied to the net total value of the service provided by the individual EDIH4Marche partner. This discount is determined based on the size of the company in accordance with the relevant regulations (Art. 28 GBER Regulation or De minimis Regulation).
