Ireland’s new Enterprise Digital Advisory Forum and AI Ambassador
The new Enterprise Digital Advisory Forum will support Government in driving the digitalisation of enterprise across Ireland. It brings together representatives of indigenous enterprise, multi-national enterprises and experts in digital technologies.
Among the Forum’s membership is Dr Patricia Scanlon who was recently appointed as Ireland’s first ever AI Ambassador. A key part of Dr Scanlon’s role will be to engage with young people on their attitudes, awareness and fears in relation to AI as well as to promote careers in technology.
Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce holds first meeting
The Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce has held its first meeting, discussing the actions required from Government and stakeholders to exploit the estuary’s areas of potential.
The Taskforce will produce a report by the end of November this year with a view to specifying the actions which can be taken to create jobs and secure investment along the estuary and in its vicinity.
Impact 2030: Ireland’s Research and Innovation Strategy
Impact 2030 will ensure that Ireland’s investment in research and innovation makes as big a difference as possible to as many people as possible. It will achieve this by building a more inclusive and engaged research and innovation system that is recognised as integral to addressing major societal issues ranging from climate change to health and wellbeing.
For enterprise, this new strategy aims to broaden and deepen innovation capability across all sectors and regions.

The deadline for submissions is Thursday, 16 June 2022.
