On 16 July 2025, the team of the Chernihiv Polytechnic National University held an online information event dedicated to presenting the opportunities offered by the innovative digital hub WIN2EDIH to representatives of local communities in Chernihiv region. During the event, special attention was paid to establishing cooperation with specialists responsible for digital transformation in their communities.

During the meeting, the university team familiarised participants with the main goals and activities of the hub and demonstrated the functionality of the Innovation Ukraine platform. The WIN2EDIH service catalogue (https://www.innovationukraine.com/uk/services-catalogue/), was presented, which includes:

• educational services (training, professional development programmes, certification programmes, mentoring sessions, etc.);
• consulting services from experts in the field of digital technologies and innovation;
• networking and community awareness events.

Participants received step-by-step instructions on how to use the Innovation Ukraine platform. Special attention was paid to the registration process for accessing the hub’s services, as well as the opportunity to submit their own proposals for the development of new services relevant to the region.

The event concluded with an interactive question and answer session, during which participants received explanations about the conditions for participating in WIN2EDIH hub initiatives and the technical aspects of the Innovation Ukraine platform. To support further interaction, the contact details of the hub coordinators, who are open to cooperation with communities in the Chernihiv region, were provided.

The event demonstrated the high interest of local government representatives in digital tools and confirmed the relevance of implementing WIN2EDIH services at the local level to strengthen the digital potential of the Chernihiv region.

We thank all participants for their active participation and look forward to further fruitful and long-term cooperation!
