Online training I: Digitalisation Capability & Digital Strategy Planning

Join us for the first session in our 3-part webinar series focused on helping local communities harness digitalisation to support sustainable and smart development!

In the first session, we’ll introduce the key building blocks of digitalisation capability and digital strategy planning. You’ll see short training videos for insights, after which we have time for some discussions and preparing for the next steps.

In this session, you will learn how to unlock the potential of digitalisation to address the
EU Green Deal’s objectives, start planning your digital strategy with LORDIMAS, and develop your own digitalisation roadmap.

More specifically, you’ll hear about: 

  • Local Digital Twins and the EU Green Deal: Explore how Local Digital Twins contribute to achieving the objectives of the EU Green Deal.
  • Assessing Your Digital Readiness: Learn about how to assess and monitor your digital maturity as well as the benefits for local governments in assessing and enhancing digital readiness.
  • Developing Your Implementation Roadmap and Getting Procurement Support: Gain practical guidance in crafting an implementation roadmap that aligns with your community’s digital vision.

Each webinar is tailored for local governments and stakeholders looking to build digital capacity, offering practical tools and real-world examples. Don’t miss this opportunity to start shaping your community’s digital future.

Please register by April 27 so we could send you the link to join the webinar. 

These trainings are part of the ‘Increasing Digitalisation Awareness and Readiness of EU
Communities’ initiative, led by the European Commission–DG Connect. Through these
sessions, we aim to provide practical, hands-on guidance to help communities across the
EU accelerate their digital transformation.

FinEst Centre for Smart Cities hosts this hybrid session as a member of the Smart Communities Network: the network of networks endorsed by the European Commission, whose primary goal is to involve all EU local communities in the European green and digital transformation.
