Digital Innovations for Bavarian Industry

Its share amounts to more than 30 % of the gross domestic product and has a strong impact on other industries. Around 87 % of the companies here are SMEs. They face major transformation challenges from digitalization, decarbonization, the decline of combustion engines, energy shortages, skills shortages and cost increases. A second focus of the DIBI consortium is on the digital transformation of the public sector, which still lags behind and hinders sustainable and citizen-friendly operations. The goal of DIBI is therefore to support manufacturing-oriented companies (SMEs and small mid-sized businesses), start-ups and public institutions in Bavaria by stimulating, enabling and accelerating digital innovation, thus promoting competitiveness and sustainable solutions.

The eight partners of the EDIH-DIBI consortium, based in northern, western and southern Bavaria, are close to customers throughout Bavaria. DIBI offers a portfolio of more than 100 services spread across four customer-oriented work packages focusing on Analytics and AI, Digital powered Manufacturing and Cyber Resilience. Of these, 64 services are already available at project start and can be made available to other EDIHs upon request. Each service type is listed in a detailed price list (Appendix 1). Strong synergies can be exploited through a structured collaboration with the EEN Bavaria2Europe, which is also coordinated by BI.
