On 4 March 2026, an online Digital Onboarding session was held as part of the activities of the European Digital Innovation Hub WIN-WIN (WIN2EDIH project). The event brought together representatives of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, start-ups, government and local authorities, educational institutions and civil society organisations interested in digital transformation and sustainable development.

Participants in the session received practical information on:

• · opportunities for safely testing innovative solutions (AI, IoT, 3D technologies, cybersecurity) prior to investment;
• · access to funding for digital transformation (grant programmes, investors, EU initiatives);
• · the development of critical digital skills;
• · integration into innovation ecosystems, and collaboration with hubs and accelerators to enter new markets.

WIN-WIN EDIH experts presented support tools that have already helped dozens of organisations scale up their activities and enhance their competitiveness.

Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, as a partner of the WIN2EDIH project, presented services within a track dedicated to training and professional development in the field of digital technologies and the sustainable transformation of businesses and start-ups. Opportunities were outlined for developing competencies in digitalisation, implementing innovative solutions and forming sustainable business models in the face of modern challenges. The event marked another step in building the regional innovation ecosystem and strengthening organisations’ capacity to effectively implement digital solutions.
