On 8 June 2026, Chernihiv Polytechnic representatives Anatolii Prystupa and Nataliia Kholiavko made a working visit to the European Digital Innovation Hub Northern Netherlands (EDIH NN), one of the key players in the innovation ecosystem of the northern Netherlands.

The sides discussed the digital transformation of business, government, and society; EDIH NN’s specialization in autonomous systems for smart agriculture, manufacturing, life sciences, and utilities; support mechanisms for SMEs and startups; regional innovation ecosystem development; and opportunities for international partnership within the European network of Digital Innovation Hubs.

The meeting confirmed mutual interest in expanding cooperation between WIN2EDIH and EDIH NN, included an exchange of experience on supporting digital transformation under wartime conditions, and established contacts for future joint projects. Although EDIH NN is moving into its EDIH 2.0 phase, partners confirmed their readiness to keep building international ties with their Ukrainian counterparts without delay.
