Helping to create a smarter more connected region

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses and public bodies are constantly seeking innovative solutions to stay ahead of the curve.

A European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) called Data2sustain has been established in the Northern and Western region to help SMEs apply cutting-edge technologies and digital skills to their businesses. Data2sustain is also being used by public sector bodies to help make their services more efficient.

Project Summary

The online hub, with €5.4 million in funding, will support regional SMEs and public bodies over three years.  EDIH’s offer a portfolio of free services to help companies become more competitive through the adoption of digital technologies and will be connected to a network of over 200 other EDIHs across the European Union.

The majority of small and medium sized enterprises in our region have little knowledge of the requirements of digitalisation and are hesitant to embark on their own digital innovation projects. Data2Sustain enables businesses to gain better access to data or use solutions powered by artificial intelligence, robotics and blockchain technologies.

The programme also invests to ensure that our regional talent can get the right skills to actively participate in the labour market. The aim is that everyone in the region – citizens, businesses and public services – can benefit from market-ready technological solutions.

SMEs and public bodies will also be able to access applied digital research, expertise and solutions from the region’s universities – including Atlantic Technological University and University of Galway through a number of channels and technology transfer centres.

SMEs and public bodies can now use any of the other 200 innovation hubs across Europe. This means, for example, that a company in Connemara can avail of research in Denmark that might assist its business with a technology such as Blockchain or Robotics. Similarly, a company in France, could access Data2Sustain for essential research or knowledge at Atlantic Technological University or the University of Galway to help advance its business, service or product. The hub is a coordinated group of organisations with complementary expertise, with a not-for-profit objective.

The new EDIH will drive digital transformation for businesses across a range of sectors, including Agri and Bio-based Food, Marine and Aquaculture, MedTech and Lifesciences, Manufacturing and Engineering, Construction, Tourism and Public Services. A particular focus will be applied to the circular economy and smarter and greener processes, systems, products, services and business models.
