About us
The European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) “ARTES 5.0 – Restart Italy” supports, at national level, the sustainable digital transition of Italian businesses, especially Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and Public Sector Organizations (PSOs). Compared to other EDIHs, ARTES 5.0 aims to promote a widespread nationwide adoption of digital technologies, with focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, to nurture sustainable, human-centric and resilient value chains in line with the Digital Europe Programme.
ARTES 5.0 operates as a network of hub and spokes
of highly qualified aggregations of public and private competences and stakeholders, focused on innovation. The Governance of ARTES 5.0 has been designed to achieve efficiency and effectiveness, while ensuring transparency and participation.
In order to increase its impact from a local and national level to a broader European level, ARTES 5.0 has signed various agreements, such as Memorandum of Understandings and Letters of Interests, with several EDIH proposals, sharing vision, strategy, and models, to strengthen initiatives, promote synergies.
