About RODIH
Context
The importance of digitalization and the adoption of digital transformation have been among the main topics discussed recently in Europe. The opportunities created by the use of new digital technologies have been seen especially in recent times, when we have had to adapt to different conditions and rely on various digital tools to continue our work.
However, the data for Romania are worrying. The latest DESI report shows that we are among the countries with poor performance in integrating digital technologies into the national economy. Romania ranks 26th out of 28 in the EU in terms of digitization. At the same time, Romania ranks 27th among EU countries in terms of the integration of digital technology by companies. At the same time, EU SMEs do not seem to take full advantage of digitalization.

Digital Europe
The Digital Innovation Hubs that will be funded by the new Digital Europe program (2021-2027) will receive the status of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs). Digital innovation centers will play a key role in the European Multiannual Financial Framework for 2021-2027 (Horizon Europe 2021-2027), being the central pillar for the implementation of the Digital Europe program.
They will help ensure the widespread use and accessibility of advanced digital technologies in the economy and society by businesses and the public sector.
The European Council approved, in December 2020, a total budget of 7.5 billion euros of the Digital Europe Program, Romania being allocated the amount of approx. 38.55 million euros for the entire implementation period of the program, respectively 7 years.
