The WG held a first meeting in Brussels on 20 October 2016. Around 80 representatives from industry (including SMEs), Member States, regions, and social partners attended and addressed a series of questions related to the following questions:

• What are the needs of industry with respect to digital transformation;

• How to develop a network of Digital Innovation Hubs in Europe that reflects these needs;

• Which investments are necessary to successfully build the network of DIHs.

The meeting comprised a series of scene-setter presentations and exchanges of thoughts and ideas in smaller discussion groups.
