DIGITAL SME, together with NetworldEurope SME Working Group, is organising a joint workshop on 16 September at 10.00 CEST to highlight SMEs work on some of the enabling technology, namely 5G, Edge Computing and IoT.

Digital transformation is playing an important role in restructuring businesses around the globe.

Enabling technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Edge Computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are the heart of this transformation. Recognising its strategic role for the EU long term objectives, the European Commission has developed its 2030 Strategy –the DIGITAL Decade – that includes the following objectives:

• 75% of European enterprises to take up cloud computing services, big data and Artificial Intelligence;
• More than 90% of European SMEs to reach at least a basic level of digital intensity;
• Grow the number of scale ups & finance to double EU Unicorns;

Digital SMEs are providing innovative solutions in 5G, IoT, Edge Computing, etc to enable other businesses to reach digital competencies and achieve digital transformation. In this framework, security remains a crucial topic in the uptake of enabling technologies and solutions businesses need.

During this event, we would like to discuss opportunities and challenges of market access and uptake of SME solutions, focusing on cybersecurity solutions and standards, and their role in the uptake of digital solutions.
