your input please…
... on key market sectors and technology needs of Creative Industries SMEs;
... technology and non-technology challenges of SMEs which DigiBIC training
could address (e.g. business models, access to finance, IPR protection etc.).
Do you have an interest...
… in joining the DigiBIC network (participate in training, deliver training
locally to SMEs)?
…in supporting deployment of new technologies to local CI SMEs
(e.g. DigiBIC to organise training after summer) ?
…and/or using DigiBIC as European deployment mechanism for
own technologies (joint training workshop, email update etc.)?
Become DigIBIC Associate Partner and/or
collaborate in technology deployment to
SMEs
