Digitalization has permeated SMEs even before the pandemic, yet only a few have the capacity to address their challenges effectively. As an interdisciplinary group of (multi-)university experts in innovation, we propose to promote the co-creation of digital solutions for SMEs involving students, and develop best practices for driving co-creation with interdisciplinary university experts. This plan targets multiple goals : Applied innovations, publications, and training. Companies will meet a heterogeneous interdisciplinary group of students, creating new collaborations or employment. The university experts will gather practical experience in best practices for co-creation with companies and identify improvements in their own ecosystems.
