Forum established to drive digital transformation across economy
Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Robert Troy TD, has today established and chaired the new Enterprise Digital Advisory Forum.
The Forum will support the Government in driving the digitalisation of enterprise across Ireland. The Forum brings together representatives of indigenous enterprise, multi-national enterprises, and experts in digital technologies and their adoption by enterprise.
Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Robert Troy TD said:
“Digital technologies are more and more becoming part of our everyday lives. The digital economy presents huge opportunities for Irish SMEs to improve services, enhance customer experience, and increase competitiveness. I want to support those Irish businesses to make that transition; to build on the positives of the past two years and continue to embrace digitalisation and all it can offer. By doing this, we can future proof our economy in the years ahead.
“I am determined to drive a real step change in the level of digitalisation across all enterprises - by 2030, I want 90% of SMEs to have achieved basic digital intensity. I look forward to chairing the Enterprise Digital Advisory Forum which will be crucial to supporting Government to encourage this change. With the insights of the experts on the Forum, we can work to help realise the benefits of those technologies for Irish enterprise of all sizes.”
