CORA partners share their stories of transformation towards a digital society. The pilot Smart public welfare solutions and in place support raised awareness and improved the digital skills and competencies of citizens and enterprises in the municipality of Oldambt, as well as tested public welfare solutions using digital technology. Oldambt aims at creating a digital hub (a Broadband Innovation Centre) for local enterprises and start-ups to help improve digital business activities in the area. The Centre will become a place for all citizens, entrepreneurs, civil servants, unemployed, old and young, to get inspired, be engaged and participate in a range of innovation projects in the field of broadband and digitalisation. Topics to be covered include home automation, e-health, virtual reality applications, agri-projects and new energy solutions.
