Increasing digitalisation awareness and readiness of Latvian communities

In today’s digital age, European urban and rural communities are progressing in their digital transformations, but not all are moving at the same pace. Some communities have already embraced advanced digital technologies, like Local Digital Twins, AI, and high-performance computing, while others are just starting to invest in their digital journey.

The European Commission has recently launched a new initiative to “Increase Digitalisation Awareness & Readiness of EU Communities”. The aim of this initiative is to support EU communities at the early stages or that have not yet begun their digital transformation journey by providing resources, best practices, and training to develop digital strategies.

With the support of a consortium of organisations, our main goal is to organise a hybrid dissemination session and follow-up training sessions to engage with our respective cities and local communities and enhance the awareness and preparedness of our communities in their digital and green transition journey.

What topics will be covered at the event?

• Introduction to Digital Twins
• Digital Twins and the European Green Deal
• LORDIMAS: your digital maturity assessment tool
• Online Procurement Helpdesk
• Supporting ecosystems, such as Living-in.EU
• Funding Opportunities
