The objective of this event 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

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 event will provide a platform for Mid-East based businesses (Kildare, Wicklow and Meath) to get informed about the new funding. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear case studies from regionally based businesses 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 LEO Kildare on behalf of the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment.
