Azets Ireland has unveiled new data which reveals that 60% of Irish businesses are using AI in some form as part of everyday operations. AI adoption grows among Irish firms The survey of 119 firms across Ireland in May 2025 reveals how Irish SMEs are using technology to future-proof their operations amid the accelerating digital transformation. Findings reveal growing rates of adoption of AI tools and technology, with the number of organisations using AI across their organisation every day rising by 11% since last November. Despite growing levels of adoption, a significant proportion of firms remain at an early stage on their AI journey. 21% of firms have not yet integrated AI in their business, while 19% of firms are researching the technology but have yet to implement it within operations. Only 1% of firms consider themselves to be at the forefront of AI adoption and innovation in their sector. Smaller firms lagging behind There are also signs of a correlation between company size and adoption, with smaller companies struggling to keep pace with larger counterparts. 71% of micro businesses (10 employees or less) have yet to adopt AI within operations, compared to only 12% of large organisations. The Finance sector has the highest level of AI adoption, with 76% of organisations having implemented AI in some capacity. This compares to 54% of firms in the construction sector and 53% of firms in the retail sector. Cybersecurity tops business priorities Findings show that cybersecurity is the top business priority for firms in Ireland, amid the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Data on key growth indicators show that firms expect to significantly strengthen cybersecurity over the next 12 months, scoring a projected change in capabilities at 6.7 out of 10. Digitalisation and future turnover follow at 6.4 out of 10, indicating an elevated focus on growth and technology investment. Irish firms experience a lower level of cybersecurity incidents across Northern Europe The results show that Irish organisations experienced the lowest level of cybersecurity incidents (30%) across the six northern European countries surveyed. This compares to an average of 38% across the UK, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Only 8% of Irish firms reported multiple cyber incidents across the year, demonstrating a high level of cyber resilience across the Irish business community. The construction sector experienced the highest average rate of cyber incidents, with 45% reporting at least one incident over the past 12 months. This is followed by the finance sector, with 43% of surveyed firms reporting a minimum of one incident. More than 1 in 3 (37%) medium-sized businesses reported a cyber incident over the past 12 months. Commenting on the findings, Neil Hughes, CEO of Azets Ireland, said: "In an era of heightened economic and trade volatility, business leaders need to navigate their organisation through short-term turbulence while planning effectively for the future. "Many SMEs in sectors such as hospitality, retail, and other family-owned businesses are under pressure as a result of the rising cost of business and need greater support if they are to grow and thrive into the future. Reducing the cost and regulatory burden on these businesses must be a priority in the months ahead. "Despite these challenges, our findings show that leaders are taking decisive steps to future-proof their organisation and drive growth from harnessing the power of AI to strengthening cybersecurity. It's clear that leaders increasingly recognise the potential of AI to enhance productivity and efficiency across their organisation and are embracing the technology in their business. "Not every business has the resources to keep pace with the rapid pace of innovation. Our findings show that small, owner-managed businesses in particular are struggling to advance innovation and embrace AI tools and technology. With a growing skills gap at many of these firms, it's crucial that d...

eir evo has announced its successful award of the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) Satellite Connectivity Tender. The announcement was made at the National Ploughing Championships in Tullamore, where key stakeholders gathered to mark a major milestone in Ireland's digital infrastructure strategy. Under the seven-year contract, eir evo will deliver satellite connectivity to an initial 21 sites, with the potential to scale to 300 locations. The initiative is designed to enhance the resilience of public services in remote and island communities, particularly in response to significant climate-related disruptions such as Storm Éowyn. Deployment will begin with island locations, including Inishturk, where the OGCIO and healthcare teams are already engaged in rollout planning. The satellite network will serve as a critical backup to terrestrial telecoms, supporting emergency services, healthcare continuity and local hubs in areas where traditional infrastructure is vulnerable or unavailable. As part of the agreement, eir evo has partnered with Eutelsat to deliver satellite services to the Irish Government. The OGCIO contract ensures that eir evo is the channel for delivering Eutelsat satellite services to Government entities in Ireland. Eutelsat's European footprint and advanced satellite capabilities bring technological excellence to the partnership, positioning Ireland at the forefront of resilient digital infrastructure in Europe. Susan Brady, Managing Director of eir evo, commented: "Storm Éowyn was a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by our remote communities. At eir evo, we believe connectivity is not just about access, it's about resilience, continuity and safety. Securing the OGCIO Satellite Connectivity partnership is a proud moment for us. It reflects our commitment to building infrastructure that can withstand the challenges of climate change and support critical public services when they're needed most." Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, Jack Chambers, welcomed the announcement, saying: "I think it is particularly appropriate that we are making this announcement here at the National Ploughing Championships, which of course is not just a celebration of rural life and culture in Ireland but also an opportunity to explore the latest innovations that are already transforming the industry and will continue to support the future of agriculture. "Initiatives such as the high-speed network and satellite services and the new data centre in Backweston will help us transform our public services by ensuring they have the modern infrastructure they need to work securely and reliably, no matter where people live or what challenges arise. "The new National Low Latency Platform is a secure, high-speed network connecting government bodies across Ireland and is now fully operational. Funded through the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the network stretches from Westport to Waterford, and Cork to Dundalk, helping public services work faster and more reliably." Minister of State with special responsibility for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment, Emer Higgins, also attended the launch of the new technology and said: "These projects are about building strong foundations for Ireland's future. Our emergency services do a fantastic job in circumstances that can be very challenging. I am delighted to announce the delivery of the new high speed, secure communications network which will ensure emergency teams can stay connected in the most remote areas, helping people stay safe especially during bad weather or emergencies." Cyril Dujardin, President of the Connectivity Business Unit at Eutelsat, said: "Together with our partner eir evo, we are strengthening Ireland's communications backbone with the resilience of our OneWeb constellation.

Digitalisation is transforming cities, urbanization and urban life – but how is it changing urban politics? What issues of justice and democracy are at stake in the advance of digital technologies? What are the power implications of the unending rise of corporate digital platforms, like Amazon? How are social media platforms reconfiguring the ways we live in cities and the ways we conduct politics? And what does the future hold?

Montenegro's digital journey has been one of deliberate reconstruction and collaboration. In 2022, a major cyberattack exposed critical gaps in the country's digital infrastructure. The experience sent shockwaves through Montenegro's public administration and made it abundantly clear that preparedness on paper does not equal resilience in reality.  Instead of responding with short-term fixes, public institutions focused on long-term change. They initiated a wide-ranging transformation, strengthening cyber capabilities, forming new partnerships, and prioritising resilience not as an end goal, but as an everyday practice.  In this podcast episode, we take a privileged look at what that transformation felt like from the inside with Dušan Polović, Director General for Infrastructure, Information Security, Digitalisation and e-Services at the Ministry of Public Administration of Montenegro, and Milan Sekuloski, Senior Cybersecurity Expert at the e-Governance Academy.  Tune in!

Gerard delivered a keynote on Digitalisation, AI, Supply Chains and Electrification at the EcoVadis Global Summit.Gerard Reid argues that we are living through a new industrial revolution driven by digitalization, AI, and electrification, comparable in scale to the steam and automobile revolutions of the past. He highlights how China is rapidly outpacing Western forecasts in areas like AI, solar power, and electric vehicles, reshaping global competitiveness. Reid stresses that AI will transform industries—from healthcare to transport to energy—while massively increasing the world's demand for electricity, which will increasingly be met through solar and battery storage. His central message is that businesses and countries must adopt a growth mindset, embrace AI as an enabler, and adapt quickly—or risk irrelevance in the face of accelerating global change.EcoVadis is a globally recognized platform that provides sustainability ratings and assessments for companies, focusing on their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. It evaluates businesses across four key themes: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. These assessments help companies manage ESG risks, ensure compliance, and improve sustainability practices across their operations and supply chains.

Introduction Like many of us, I love listening to our veterans' tales, exploits and adventures. They regale stories from their long careers, dits about the changes in warfare and the disruptions following the digital transformation of our armed forces. Suddenly, I feel my age as they talk about some of the equipment I worked on, but in the past tense. As I reflect on this, I think that maybe the military got digital transformation all wrong. Instead of focusing on the transformation of warfare by digitalisation, we have been preoccupied with the digitalisation of the equipment, not on the transformation of our Armed Forces and how we should prosecute a digital war using it. Instead of welcoming AI and digital transformation as a new paradigm for our Armed Services, did we merely apply it as a trendy veneer on legacy ways-of-war models, processes and practices? In the first major digital war, Ukraine quickly learnt that their legacy Soviet and even adopted legacy NATO doctrine, models, processes and practices, built for the last war, were defunct in this new digital battlespace. As new conflicts arise, this challenges our fundamental assumptions about how we think, work, and measure success in the new AI-enabled profession of arms. The rise of AI is giving us all a moment of pause. Do we choose to also apply a veneer of AI to the same old legacy processes and practices, making them incrementally a little faster and more efficient … or do we work to focus on the important things in the next war - applying AI to increase our efficiency, effectiveness and lethality? At the same time, we must also chart new skills pathways for all our people and harness everyone's creativity so we can deliver a truly transformed AI-enabled military. Augmenting and fusing the human mind with advanced AI technologies could provide a pivotal moment for us if we are bold enough to seize it. Digitalisation isn't transformation It has only been a decade since General Barrons presented his vision on Warfare in the Information Age. It promised to revolutionise us for a new way of war. But for many, the outcome was far from revolutionary; instead of truly investing in digital transformation, we faffed and frittered away the opportunity, making only superficial changes and tweaks rather than complete transformation. This approach reinforced and cemented traditional tactics, techniques and procedures from the Cold War era, without dismantling the barriers that separated individuals, tasks and data within our formations. Each team, function and arm got its own ICS, which was meant to enhance efficiency but ended up complicating future efforts to aggregate data and interoperate as one. While much of our equipment changed, how we operated on the battlefield did not fundamentally change the nature of our work or transform it. We introduced new, better equipment, interfaces, and architectures, improving the speed, security and quantity of the same things we always did. It allowed us to maintain the same old Cold War practices, with the data being passed and workflows remaining disparate, still siloed within different domains. Instead of transforming how we fight, we extended, prolonged, and gave a lifeline to the old ways of warfare with which we were comfortable. We didn't challenge the politics or conventions, retire outdated thinking or butcher any sacred cows. How often have we heard "Why do we keep doing it this way?" We failed to change our perspective on how we think. We failed to question whether our traditions were right in this modern battlespace. We failed to understand how we should fight in this digital world. As with digital transformation, there is no one-size-fits-all for AI enablement either, but iteration or refinement of past legacy practices is not the answer. A reimagined military A few organisations fundamentally understood the real power of digital; they reimagined their purpose and developed a whole new way of delivering their product/s...

With the current guidelines dating back around 20 years, the Commission is seeking to modernise its approach considering evolving markets, enforcement trends and case law. The discussion delves into key areas under consultation: Assessing market power, including a potential shift away from traditional safe harbors; Innovation, with a focus on predicting when deals might stifle or stimulate R&D; Sustainability, and whether merger control can support the green transition; Digitalisation, and the need for new theories of harm to address rapidly evolving, data-driven markets.

Opportunities presented by digitalisation and AI go beyond traditional generational shifts; they will require fundamental change in the mindsets of business leaders Shannon Chamber CEO Helen Downes was quick to engage with Skillnet Ireland's new chief executive, Mark Jordan, following his appointment in March 2025, by inviting him to address a luncheon to mark the tenth anniversary of Shannon Chamber Skillnet. The event, which took place in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Limerick last week, attracted a guest list which included Chamber member companies, representatives from Skillnet Ireland, Skillnet Business Networks in the Mid-West region, the tertiary education sector and private training providers. Skillnet Ireland is recognised internationally as a best practice model for workforce development, supporting the competitiveness, productivity, and innovation of Irish businesses. Under the leadership of newly appointed chief executive Mark Jordan, the organisation remains committed to building on its excellent track record of the past 26 years. Since its inception in 1999, Skillnet Ireland, via its 70 Business Networks, which includes Shannon Chamber Skillnet, has continually evolved. This evolution is reflected in the expanding profile of the businesses it supports, the deepening and diversification of its engagement strategies, and the ongoing development of innovative support schemes tailored to the needs of industry. "Our success depends on aligning Skillnet Ireland's work with national strategies, including the National Digital and the National AI Strategies," said Mark Jordan. "To remain relevant, we need to anticipate change and have meaningful conversations with companies to bridge the gap in skills development. This is particularly important as 59% of SMEs and MNCs expect their core skills to undergo a major shift in the next two to three years, and that, by 2027, 50% of today's skills will be obsolete," he added. Focusing on future skill requirements, Mr. Jordan stated: "Digitalisation will play a critical role in helping companies become more resilient nationally and internationally. Technologies such as machine learning and AI will be central in the transformational journey of companies in many sectors, as will sustainable business practices, which have become an integral part of Ireland's enterprise sector". Highlighting regional achievements, he noted: "In the past year alone, 3,000 businesses in counties Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, upskilled 7,000 people through Skillnet Ireland programmes. That level of engagement is impressive, and it's only set to grow." Mr Jordan was joined on the podium by representatives from Atlantic Aviation Group (AAG), Element Six and Engine Lease Finance Corporation (ELFC) for a lively question and answer session moderated by Shannon Chamber Skillnet Network Manager, Alan Kelly. Trevor Rogers, organisation development manager with AAG, Stephen Linnane, general manager, Element Six, and Maria Frost, senior vice president, human resources at ELFC, brought valuable insights into the strategic importance of keeping employees' skills aligned with the evolving needs of industry. During a panel discussion, they shared their views on topics as diverse as: people development during a corporate merger, addressing skills gaps post-apprenticeships, Skillnet Ireland as an operating model, the future of learning and development and the growing relevance of sustainability literacy. They highlighted the benefits of having balanced skills within an organisation and discussed the positive payback, in terms of mindset shift and increased motivation, that can result from introducing a skills-based pay programme, as well as the urgency of prioritising digital literacy across all sectors. Having witnessed, first hand, a clear escalation in the demand for talent development programmes, Shannon Chamber CEO, Helen Downes, said that operating a Skillnet Business Network has enabled the Chamber to help local b...

Since its launch in 2020, MentorsWork has provided targeted business supports to nearly 4,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Ireland and invested €6.5 million to drive SME growth, resilience, and innovation.

Expert mentors provide education and information to SME owners on how to innovate, adopt new technologies and adjust to ever-changing market dynamics - particularly in the current economic and technological climate. It is a testament to the success of the programme that it has reached this half decade milestone, and we look forward to its continued success and growth into the future." David Broderick, Director of the Small Firms Association, said: "This milestone reflects the strength and value of the MentorsWork programme in helping SMEs overcome real-world challenges. The initiative has been a game-changer for so many businesses. By addressing specific needs and equipping SMEs with tailored support and mentoring, we are helping them not only survive but thrive in an increasingly competitive environment.

The programme has invested €6.5 million to date into providing upskilling initiatives, leveraging a network of best-in-class mentors to empower SMEs to build their competitiveness through skills. With plans to support over 900 SMEs by the end of 2025 and open to business owners and managers from all industries with 1-250 employees, the 12-week MentorsWork programme introduces participants to a dedicated and experienced mentor who works with them to address their specific areas of concern, alongside masterclasses and peer-to-peer workshops. Throughout the programme, SME owners and managers gain access to essential tools and knowledge in key areas such as People Management, Business Processes, Finance, Growth Strategies, and Digitalisation. SMEs interested in the MentorsWork programme can apply now and take the first step toward sustaining and growing their businesses.

Minister Chambers launches guidelines on the use of AI for better public services

Minister Jack Chambers is launching 'Guidelines for the Responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in the Public Service'. Artificial Intelligence is changing how we live, work, and engage with the world around us. Governments worldwide face the challenge of meeting the digital expectations of their end-users while keeping pace with advancements in technology. These Guidelines compliment and inform strategies regarding the adoption of innovative technology and ways of working already underway in the public service, and seek to set a high standard for public service transformation and innovation, while prioritising public trust and people's rights. The Guidelines have been developed to actively empower public servants to use AI in the delivery of services. By firmly placing the human in the process, these guidelines aim to enhance public trust in how Government uses AI. A range of resources designed to support the adoption of AI have been developed, including clear information on Government's Principles for Responsible AI, a Decision Framework for evaluating the potential use of AI, a Responsible AI Canvas Tool to be used at planning stage, and the AI Lifecycle Guidance tool. Other government supports available to public service organisations also include learning and development materials and courses for public servants at no cost. In this regard, and in addition to its existing offering on AI, the Institute for Public Administration will provide a tutorial and in-person training dedicated to the AI Guidelines to further assist participants in applying the guidelines in their own workplaces. The guidelines contain examples of how AI is already being used across public services, including: St. Vincent's University Hospital exploring the potential for AI to assist with performing heart ultrasound scans, in order to help reduce waiting times for patients. The Revenue Commissioners using Large Language Models to route taxpayer queries more efficiently, ensuring faster and more accurate responses. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine developing an AI-supported solution to detect errors in grant applications and reduce processing times for applications. Minister Jack Chambers said: "AI offers immense possibilities to improve the provision of public services. These guidelines support public service bodies in undertaking responsible innovation in a way that is practical, helpful and easy to follow. "In keeping with Government's AI strategy, the guidance as well as the learning and development supports being offered by the Institute for Public Administration, will help public servants to pursue those opportunities in a way that is responsible. "AI is already transforming our world and it is crucial that we embrace that change and adapt quickly in order to deliver better policy and better public services for the people of Ireland." Minister of State for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment, Emer Higgins said: "AI holds the potential to revolutionise how we deliver services, make decisions, and respond to the needs of our people. These guidelines will support thoughtful integration of AI into our public systems, enhance efficiency, and reduce administrative burdens and financial cost. Importantly, this will be done with strong ethical and human oversight, ensuring fairness, transparency, accountability, and the protection of rights and personal data at every step." Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, Niamh Smyth said: "Government is committed to leveraging the potential of AI for unlocking productivity, addressing societal challenges, and delivering enhanced services. The guidelines launched today are part of a whole of government approach to putting in place the necessary enablers to underpin responsible and impactful AI adoption across the public service. They are an important step in meeting government's objective of better outcomes through AI adopti...

That's fine. That's a product. Manipulate me to sell me that. But that's not fine with political ideas,” continues Alberto Fernandez Gibaja, Head of Digitalisation and Democracy at the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA).What about free speech?“For the first time in my life, I am listening to Americans on the radio and TV, talking to the press and refusing to use their names because they are afraid of retaliation,” says Brody.Is it still possible to have a democratic, fact-based debate?“For those of us who believe that we share a reality based on facts and science, we are on the losing side,” says Fernandez Gibaja.Are we losing the fundamental freedoms set out in the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

NEGATIVE'S DARK ELECTRO, E.B.M., INDUSTRIAL, 80'S...

"Synthetic love and digital emptiness: why we need to get back to living!!!"In an era when algorithms predict our desires, and chatbots imitate care, the concept of love is increasingly reduced to a set of notifications: a heart under a photo, a template message, an emoji instead of hugs. Digitalisation has turned emotions into a commodity, and relationships into a series of clicks. Social networks create the illusion of closeness, replacing deep conversations with likes, and real support with reactions in stories. We live in a world where falling in love begins with a swipe to the right and ends with a "fake account", and this is becoming a new norm.But behind this convenient virtual screen there is a dangerous paradox: the more we "connect", the more acutely we feel lonely. Artificial intelligence analyses our preferences, selecting the "perfect couple", but is not able to convey a tremor in the voice, the warmth of touch or a silent understanding of the gaze. Social media algorithms lure us into a trap of superficial connections, where the number of subscribers is more important than the quality of communication, and sincerity is lost in the pursuit of the perfect selfie.Humanity begins to forget that love is not a transaction, but a risk. Not the statistics of coincidences in the application, but the courage to be vulnerable. Not correspondence in the messenger, but the ability to be silent together, to hear not only words, but also pauses between them. Our neurons crave not digital impulses, but a living presence: laughter that makes the stomach hurt, disputes that make hands tremble, glances that burn through time and space.It's time to consciously create oasis of analogue reality. Turn off notifications to talk at dinner not about memes, but about fears. Replace the coffee story with a joint silence by the window. To return to the embrace the status of the main "messenger", and to awkward confessions - the value of a genuine gesture. Technology should be a bridge, not a wall.Love is not sold by subscription, she breathes, makes mistakes, smells rain on her skin, requires time and... imperfections. Because only in reality can we get burned, forgive, grow up. Only where the Internet is disconnected, life begins... ___________________________________________________________________________________ «Синтетическая любовь и цифровая пустота: почему нам нужно вернуться к живому!!!»В эпоху, когда алгоритмы предсказывают наши желания, а чат-боты имитируют заботу, понятие любви всё чаще сводится к набору уведомлений: сердечко под фото, шаблонное сообщение, эмодзи вместо объятий. Цифровизация превратила эмоции в товар, а отношения — в серию кликов. Социальные сети создают иллюзию близости, заменяя глубокие разговоры лайками, а настоящую поддержку — реакциями в сторис. Мы живём в мире, где влюблённость начинается с свайпа вправо, а заканчивается «фейковым аккаунтом», и это становится новой нормой.  Но за этой удобной виртуальной ширмой скрывается опасный парадокс: чем больше мы «подключаемся», тем острее чувствуем одиночество. Искусственный интеллект анализирует наши предпочтения, подбирая «идеальную пару», но не способен передать дрожь в голосе, тепло прикосновения или молчаливое понимание взгляда. Алгоритмы соцсетей заманивают нас в ловушку поверхностных связей, где количество подписчиков важнее качества общения, а искренность теряется в погоне за идеальным селфи.  Человечество начинает забывать, что любовь — это не транзакция, а риск. Не статистика совпадений в приложении, а смелость быть уязвимым. Не переписка в мессенджере, а умение молчать вместе, слышать не только слова, но и паузы между ними. Наши нейроны жаждут не цифровых импульсов, а живого присутствия: смеха, который заставляет живот болеть, споров, от которых дрожат руки, взглядов, прожигающих время и пространство.  Пришло время сознательно создавать оазисы аналоговой реальности. Выключить уведомления, чтобы поговорить за ужином не о мемах, а о страхах. Заменить сторис с кофе на совместное молчание у окна. Вернуть объятиям статус главного «мессенджера», а неловким признаниям — ценность неподдельного жеста. Технологии должны быть мостом, а не стеной.  Любовь не продаётся по подписке. Она дышит, ошибается, пахнет дождём на коже, требует времени и… несовершенства. Потому что только в реальности мы можем обжечься, простить, вырасти. Только там, где интернет отключается, начинается жизнь…

Klaus introduces the concept of the sustainability thread—an evolution of the digital thread—that connects sustainability data across an organisation, enabling businesses to move beyond compliance and embed sustainability into product lifecycle management (PLM).We discuss the challenges companies face, from fragmented data to complex supply chains, and how automation can streamline processes like carbon accounting and lifecycle assessments. Klaus shares insights on regulatory pressures such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), highlighting how businesses must align their IT strategies with sustainability goals to stay ahead.We also cover:✅ Why sustainability reporting is overwhelming teams—and how to fix it✅ The role of AI, IoT, and blockchain in supply chain transparency✅ Why industries like steel and cement are progressing, while agriculture struggles✅ The importance of supplier collaboration in tracking sustainability dataKlaus argues that digitalisation is the missing link in supply chain sustainability. If companies want to make meaningful progress, they must digitise sustainability data, integrate it into their processes, and ensure seamless data flow across their value chains.
