Kick-off meeting

Formerly known as ICT cluster, Innoskart has defined itself as a Digital Cluster since 2019 and as a Digital Innovation Hub since 2021. It’s mission, to supporting digitalisation by facilitating dialogue, knowledge and technology transfer between service and user companies. It plays an “interface” role between very different actors of the ecosystem who are equally involved in digitization, primarily at regional and national level.

Innoskart cooperates with the actors – organizations, clusters, universities, knowledge centers supporting Hungarian digital innovation in a way that fits into European trends – who come together to operate eDIH.

In the meantime, Innoskart is building an international network to help regional ecosystem actors to strengthen competencies in order to achieve European standards. Thus, digital innovation is not only supported in the Central Transdanubian Region, Innoskart is also actively involved in the construction of national and European level networks.

Innoskart’s aim is to familiarise SMEs in our region with the technological solutions for climate-neutral, circular and digitised production and to support the development of an innovative, clean and resilient industry. We also help to find the EU and national funding needed to achieve these goals.
