Description

Abstract
DiGiNN is a one-stop-shop for all companies and public sector organisations, providing them an end-to-end experience in their digitisation journey; from coaching and mentoring by reputable experts, access to the most advanced infrastructure and facilities, support to find investments, to networking and access to innovation ecosystems. To achieve this, we gather the local champions in digital technologies, including all relevant Centres of Excellence, and partner them with both National industrial representation bodies and sectoral associations, establishing the direct interface between state-of-the-art offer and broad demand. Blending in are the most active incubators, whose mission is to nurture innovative start-ups in the early stages of commercialisation and support them in terms of upskilling, networking and accessing funds for further development.

DiGiNN brings together under one roof in a structured service framework, Cyprus’ leading expertise in Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing, Cybersecurity and other advanced digital technologies by engaging the country’s Centres of Excellence and organizations addressing the twin European Transformation having excellence at their core. DiGiNN is the only joint service provision platform of:

the national HPC facility and Coordinating Organization of the regional Teaming Centre of Excellence (CoE) for climate
both national ICT Teaming CoEs
the two big public Universities and the major Research Centre in biology and medicine
both country-wide business and industrial representation bodies, including all the national sectoral associations,
the most active inclusive innovation start-up ecosystem representatives and
the largest amongst the “big four” business and technology consulting firms driven by their Corporate Social Responsibility “New World, New Skills” commitment
complemented by six external partners bringing unique characteristics, value and specialisation to the DiGiNN community including the local business angels network
