Our department will begin working on the "Digital Business Ecosystem Navigator (DiBEN) - Digital Knowledge Platform for SMEs" project in October.

The Hessian State Chancellery's Distr@l funding program, under the direction of the Minister for Digital Strategy and Development, provide the funding for this initiative.

A novel digital and interactive knowledge platform for management advancement in Hessian SMEs with digitalization demands is developed and tested as part of this project, with a particular focus on digital business ecosystems. The platform will leverage opportunities of digital technologies, on the one hand, to disseminate knowledge prepared for the specific application needs of SMEs on key topics of digital business ecosystem management in an efficient and personalized manner. On the other hand, it aims to provide a collection of data-based digital tools to effectively empower practitioners.
