Problem description / Description du problème ciblé par le projet
The operation “DICE – Digital innovation through cooperation in Europe” focuses on exchanging
experiences among eight European regions that are in the process of introducing digital terrestrial television
and related services. Specific emphasis is placed on the economic development of the regions and the
promotion of SMEs with regards to the media and telecommunication industry. Related issues to be dealt
with include consumer acceptance, technical standards, business models, and regulatory frameworks.
Overall objective / Objectif général de l'opération
The operation aims to examine the effects of technical progress in the field of digitalisation in the
participating regions and research in detail how regional development can benefit from related technology
changes. Further goals of the operation include the improvement of policies and instruments in connection
with digitalisation, promotion of economic competitiveness and stimulation of the partner regions’ labour
markets.
Expected results / Résultats attendus
The operation will strengthen the capacities of the partner regions to switch from analogue to digital
television and support the development of common standardised approaches. Through the identification and
transfer of best practices (to be documented in a manual), the resulting digital services and applications will
be promoted and new markets will be created. The collaboration will also result in cost reductions, increased
productivity and the promotion of the technological edge of participating regions. These regions will benefit
from being at the forefront of the development of new digital standards, which will be transferable to other
regions.
