From large enterprises to small local businesses, the ability to effectively harness digital technologies is no longer just a competitive advantage, it is necessary for survival and growth.
Tyndall National Institute, based at University College Cork, is a leading European deep-tech research centre in integrated ICT (information and communications technology) materials, devices, circuits and systems.
European Digital Innovation Hub drives transformation
Headquartered at Tyndall, the ENTIRE European Digital Innovation Hub is one of 228 European digital innovation hubs across Europe supporting digital transformation for public and private organisations.
Senior Head of Group for Bioelectronics and Director of the ENTIRE Digital Innovation Hub, Dr Paul Galvin, explains: “We are leveraging the research infrastructure, technology platforms and expertise of Tyndall together with that of our partners in the University College Cork, Munster Technological University (Cork), the Walton Institute (Waterford) and Skillnet Ireland to support the digital transformation journeys of various public sector organisations and small or medium-sized enterprises.
“We offer a range of digital innovation services, starting with an initial digital maturity assessment and ranging from Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Sensors, IoT networks and high-performance computing, cybersecurity, AI and data analytics to digital skills onboarding. These supports to SMEs, startups and public sector organisations provide the basis for greater competitiveness and efficiency by leveraging digital technologies in their business processes, products or services.”

Full funding opportunities available
Organisations may be struggling to fully utilise digital technologies, or they may not have the resources to invest in training and services. “However, we have fully funded programmes available, supported by the European Recovery and Resilience Fund through Enterprise Ireland, which are fully compliant with state aid rules,” says Dr Galvin.
“These services include evaluating the suitability of new digital technologies before investment through our ‘Test-before-invest’ services. We want to raise awareness of this timely opportunity to support SMEs’ and all public sector organisations’ digital transformation,” he adds.
