Join E-DATA events to hear about digital support for SMEs
A series of roadshows are taking place to explain the E-DATA project, a new digital support programme for SMEs.
New programme to support innovation-led growth across the region
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland are invited to take part in upcoming events to hear about E-DATA, a new digital support programme.
E-DATA offers expert guidance to help businesses make better use of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, data analytics, automation, and the Internet of Things. The programme focuses on sustainability, innovation, and collaboration across the region.
E-DATA, which stands for Enterprise Digitalisation and Transformation Alliance, is funded through the PEACEPLUS programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body. The initiative is delivered by Ulster University in partnership with Atlantic Technological University, Sustainable NI, Manufacturing NI, and Innovate NI.
