EUHUBS4DATA - European Federation of Data Driven Innovation Hubs, aims to build a European federation of Innovation Hubs, active in the fields of Data Science. It establishes a network of capabilities, skills and data services, connecting R&D and innovation support centres, incubators and data platforms, SME networks, training communities, training services and open data repositories. It aims to establish an integrated ecosystem to stimulate greater participation of SMEs and Start-Ups in the data economy by providing easy cross-border access to computing capabilities and services, facilitating data sharing and supporting them with the skills, tools and support services made available by the Innovation Hubs of the network. This support will enable the development of innovative solutions and new business models based on the economic valuation of data, according to the users' needs, thus improving their digital competitiveness, as well as the satisfaction of the end users.

The integration of the PRODUTECH Digital Innovation Hub into this network has enabled national companies to access a range of services and funding opportunities, within the framework of calls for tenders for the implementation of innovations that the project has promoted. Participation in online and face-to-face events dedicated to data-related topics, access to the data and service catalogues provided by PRODUTECH DIH and the various European DIHs that are part of the network.

PRODUTECH DIH's participation in the EUHUBS4DATA network and BDVA – Big Data Value Association as i-Space Gold also allows interaction with a wide network of DIHs and participation in European working groups specialising in various data-related areas.

The PRODUTECH DIH partners actively involved in this project are: CCG - Centre for Computer Graphics, INESC TEC - Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science, ISEP - Porto Higher Institute of Engineering, PRODUTECH - Production Technologies Hub, UMinho - University of Minho and UNINOVA - Institute for the Development of New Technologies.
