Cluj Innovation Days (CID), an international conference with a tradition, dedicated to innovation, entrepreneurship and digital transformation, has a special significance this year. The first day of CID, 28 Mai 2026, is dedicated exclusively to the DIH4Society International Digital Transformation Conference – the closing conference of the DIH4Society project.
DIH4Society will host a series of sesiuni interactive dedicate IMM-urilor and organisations, with an emphasis on the North-West region of Romania and beyond. Participants, including project beneficiaries and stakeholders, will have the opportunity to explore at least three types of digital transformation services offered through the hub. After the opening sessions, participants can join a dynamic discussion that will present impact stories from the project, with contributions from SMEs, public administration representatives and healthcare institutions that have benefited from DIH4Society's expertise. The programme continues with sessions of Brokerage and Matchmaking designed to connect organisational needs with customised digital solutions.
The central theme of this year's edition, “Skills in the AI Era”, draws attention to the essential role of developing digital skills, knowledge transfer and cross-sector cooperation in supporting competitiveness and technological progress. Through this edition, Cluj Innovation Days aims to provide a relevant framework for dialogue, exchange of expertise and outlining concrete directions for action in the field of digital transformation.
Organised by Cluj IT Cluster, within eDIH4Society, Cluj Innovation Days 2026 reconfirms the commitment of the partners involved to supporting digital transformation and developing a collaborative ecosystem capable of responding to the challenges and opportunities brought by new technologies. In the context of the conclusion of the DIH4Society project, the conference also provides an opportunity to highlight the strategic directions, the collaborations developed and the contribution of the initiative to strengthening innovation capacity in the region and beyond.
The DIH4Society Consortium invites representatives of companies, organisations, academia, public administration and the innovation ecosystem to take part in this edition of the conference, dedicated to dialogue and building partnerships for the digital future of the economy and society.
