European Digital Hub Network (EDIH)
The European Commission has launched the Digital Europe programme based on a network of European Digital Innovation Hubs. EDIHs are linked to advanced digital knowledge in the region (research centres, universities, etc.) and in Europe (partner hubs). They provide a public service, transferring digital know-how to small and medium enterprices (SMEs) and public organisations.

Our EDIH NEB provides services to companies (up to 3000 employees) and public organisations primarily from the Liberec and Hradec Kralove regions. You will find here in one place all consulting, testing and implementation of digital technologies, services and training on the topic of digitalization or assistance with grant management.

AI Act Helpdesk
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is the world’s first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence. It entered into force in 2024, and its provisions will be phased in starting in 2025. It establishes rules for the development, placing on the market, putting into service, and use of artificial intelligence systems in the European Union. It emphasizes safety, transparency, and the protection of fundamental rights. For companies and organizations, this means new obligations—ranging from assessing the riskiness of AI systems they use or develop to ensuring compliance with the regulation’s specific requirements.
Navigating the new legislation can be challenging, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises and public administration organizations. That is why we have established this helpdesk as part of the European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) Northeast. Its goal is to provide you with clear answers to questions regarding the AI Act—specifically, what applies to you, what obligations the regulation imposes on you, and how to prepare for them.
