This set of services is based on demonstration, enabling and experimentation infrastructures and it is adapted to the needs of the territory, and thanks to the support received from the European Commission, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, and the Valencian Region Government, the companies receiving them do not have to pay anything.

In a nutshell, InnDIH grows in a rich ecosystem, following the EU's objective to attain industrial and social wealth through the green and digital transition. Its participation as an EDIH in the DIGITAL programme is a key element to boost digitalization in the Valencia region
