The Digital Innovation Hub IDEMO organized a workshop titled “Support for SMEs in Digitalization Processes.” The workshop was intended for representatives of institutions and organizations providing support to SMEs.

The workshop aimed to present and discuss various forms of support for SMEs in digitalization processes.

Goran Janković, a representative of the Agency for Enterprise Development Eda Banja Luka, critically reviewed the current state and mechanisms of support for SMEs in digitalization processes, considering the advantages and challenges in the implementation of specific support mechanisms. The workshop defined basic directions of activities and collaboration in providing support for SMEs in digitalization processes.

The workshop is part of the EU4DigitalSME project, jointly financed by the European Union and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of the Federal Republic of Germany (BMZ). The project focuses on establishing and supporting the development of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
