🇧🇬 UDIH 4 EU

About this hub

Our EDIH is dedicated to the utilities sectors, with a primary focus on electricity distribution and water and wastewater utilities (WWU) at present and others in mind. UDIH’s regional focus is South Central Bulgaria but our unique selling proposition already attracts PSOs and SMEs from all over Europe. We are building a simulation environment, physically mimicking a complete WWU service cycle that is also equipped to collect real-time data from both water and electricity grids. This module-based environment constructs a unique spot for TBI and TBB services - tech demonstrations or pilots. A range of support services is also envisaged: - full training cycles and financial advisory including links to private and institutional investors, innovation procurement advisory and support to gain public grants. All services are provided by the partners as field experts. Networking activities support access to digital capacities and international ecosystems actors, reaching 1000+ attendees in 30+events, bringing together digital industry buyers, vendors, investors and innovation actors. Existing facilities are not even halfway close to providing anything similar in scope, technological value or flexibility, especially in terms of its potential value for the entire Network of EIDHs.
