This facilitates knowledge and technology transfer, increasing the region’s attractiveness for investments. The focus on developing digital skills further supports the creation of a qualified workforce, essential for attracting investors.
EDIH Adria builds investor confidence by supporting businesses in adopting advanced technologies, reducing investment risks, and improving the competitiveness of the local economy.
