EnerDigit

Basic Information

Description

EnerDigit - A joint programming initiative to establish transnational innovation eco-systems for the designing, implementing
and testing of interoperable technical and business services for energy systems, unleashing the potential of digital
transformation for the energy transition
This ERA-Co-fund Action aims to enhance the transnational collaboration in digital transformation of energy systems and
networks. It helps unleashing the potential of digitalisation for the energy transition towards a de-carbonised, secure and
resilient European energy system. The initiative coordinates relevant RDD programmes in the involved European and
associated countries and regions, implementing at least two joint calls for RDD proposals. It contributes to the
implementation of the EU SET-Plan, particularly Actions 3 and 4. Beyond the funding of transnational RDD projects, it
accelerates the development of transnational innovation ecosystems by initiating a Transnational Validation Ecosystem with
existing and upcoming living labs, allowing start-ups and innovative companies to test their solutions in different frameworks.
It also promotes the development of interoperable solutions, enabling wider impact and use of applications, systems and
services, by piloting a European Collaboration Platform for Interoperability Testing, providing an open, independent
development and test environment for developers, manufacturers and suppliers of components and solutions for smart
energy systems. A highly ambitious consortium establishes an Impact Network with Associated Partners, acting as
intermediaries towards regional and local stakeholders, start-up supporters and incubators as well as to follow-up financers
and investors in order to enhance need driven technology policy. This ERA-Net co-fund action is exploiting on sustainable
coordination structures already established by the Joint Programming Platform Smart Energy Systems (JPP SES) and will
be integrated there as a new "Focus Initiative".
