EDIH DIHNAMIC
PHOTONHUB EUROPE


Officially launched in November 2022, Dihnamic is the EDIH (European Digital and Innovation Hub) for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This regional tool encourages and supports manufacturing companies with fewer than 3,000 employees in their digital and ecological transition in response to the adaptation needs of Industry 4.0. Based on a new generation of reliable Artificial Intelligence, with human-centered design and development, Dihnamic also uses a range of technologies revolving around digital twins, IOT and robotics.
Today, Dihnamic has supported nearly fifty companies of all types and in all sectors, and can boast of having helped raise funds of up to €700,000, as well as offering training and awareness-raising on AI, cybersecurity and other advanced digital technologies to over 800 people!
Supported by ADI Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Dihnamic can also count on its regional partners, which include clusters (ALPHA-RLH, AEROSPACE VALLEY, EIT MANUFACTURING), technology transfer centers (CATIE, CEA TECH, CETIM, TECNALIA France), universities and training centers (BORDEAUX INP, ESTIA, CAPTRONIC), as well as research organizations (INRIA, ONERA).
This consortium from the Neo-Aquitaine region offers more than twenty services focusing on five main areas:
- A customized diagnostic that gives companies an overview of their digital maturity as well as their ability to integrate and innovate by leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies;
- Exchanges and technological advice to identify opportunities for innovation, qualify the relevance of certain technologies and carry out experiments quickly and cost-effectively;
- Training to upgrade skills and adapt to the growing need to master and use these new technologies;
- Support and assistance in finding financing;
- Contacts with local, French and European players.

PhotonHub Europe is a European project that aims to establish a one-stop shop for photonics innovation across the European Union. The project brings together 53 partners offering the best photonics technologies, facilities, expertise and experience from across Europe.
The PhotonHub one-stop shop thus offers a comprehensive range of business support services to accelerate the adoption and deployment of photonics. PhotonHub provides European companies, particularly SMEs and "non-photonics" mid-sized companies, with services to help them become early adopters and users of photonics:
- training and development opportunities at PhotonHub's demonstration and experience centers across Europe, backed up by digital e-learning tools;
- test-before-investing" innovation support capabilities to engage with companies in highly collaborative innovation projects aimed at accelerating TRL, from prototyping (TRL3-4) to manufacturing (TRL7-8), complemented by targeted business and intellectual property advice;
- help in finding investment, through investment preparation coaching and contacts with investors, organized in collaboration with the main regional and European forums.
PhotonHub has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Grant Agreement n*101016665, in Public Private Partnership with Photonics21.
