About

The objective of this workshop is to discuss the new €85 million fund received by the Irish Government as part of its National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The Digital Transition Fund has been allocated funding of €85 million during the period to 2026 as part of Ireland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan. €10 million will be available in 2022. It will be administered by Enterprise Ireland.

The Fund will be used to help companies use digital technology like AI, cloud computing and big data to improve their products, processes, supply chains and services. The funding will help companies at all stages of their digital journey – from going online to facilitating exporting and to using digital technologies to reach new markets and improve their productivity and competitiveness.

This workshop provides a platform for Midland based enterprises to get informed about the new funding and how they can access the funds.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear case studies from regionally based business leaders who have progressed their digitalisation journey as well as preparing a digital transformation action plan that meets their business needs with their agency representative.

This workshop is hosted by the ATIM cluster on behalf of the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment.
