Last year's NI local network Chairperson, Tom Gray recently launched an ambitious programme of activities to build the capability of Northern Ireland’s digital cluster with Economy Minister Simon Hamilton.
Speaking at the launch, Tom Gray, Head Digital Catapult NI said: “This ambitious inaugural work programme will help accelerate the growth of our areas of strength such as analytics and cyber security and increase our opportunities in emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence and Immersive Technologies.”
During the next 12 months, Digital Catapult NI will deliver a wide range of activities that will support and help build on Northern Irelands digital capability and promote international collaboration. This will include showcasing outstanding digital companies to industry; pit stops where large non-digital companies can engage with digital start-ups; meet-ups where companies interesting in particular topics can explore and collaborate on challenges; and international outreach.
The UK Digital Catapult’s task is to support existing and emerging capabilities in the digital sector and to transform other key sectors. The Northern Ireland Digital Catapult Centre is based within Catalyst Inc (Belfast and Londonderry).
