Mission & Goals
CiTyINNOHub | European Digital Innovation Hub | Tourism 4.0 – eHealth - Smart City – IC&T CiTyInnoHub evolved from a digital innovation hub based solely in Ovidius University into a coherent consortium of six organisations with complementary expertise and a common goal: to assist regional SMEs and PSOs with their digital transformation. The consortium was developed around the Ovidius University of Constanța, as orchestrator, particularly through its Technology Transfer Office (TTO). Founding members of the CiTyInnoHub consortium are six very diverse and complementary organisations: Ovidius University of Constanța (UOC), National Patronage Association of Business Women in SMEs (PNFAIMM), Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Navigation and Agriculture of Constanța County (CCINA), Intercommunity Development Association of Constanța Metropolitan Area (ZMC), Iceberg Plus (ICE), Ernst & Young (EY).
