An initiative which helps innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI)-focused scaleup companies to maximise their full commercial potential is now open for 2025 applications. The 6-month programme, delivered by the University of Edinburgh, will widen its selection process this year, to encourage a broader range of scaleups from tech-focused companies to benefit from a package of support aimed at helping transform their businesses into world-leading companies. The AI Accelerator has a strong track record of supporting innovative businesses and, this year, will be joined by Daniel Winterstein as Technical Entrepreneur in Residence. A PhD graduate at the University of Edinburgh and co-founder of ethical ad-tech company Good-Loop, Daniel will offer technical guidance and mentorship as part of the Accelerator's wider support network. Daniel Winterstein comments, "As the only UK city to be named an AI leader, it's fair to say that we have a real opportunity here and I am so excited to meet the cohort. Access to capital and talent are their biggest barriers to growth in the UK and we want to support them to overcome these challenges with our programme so that as a city and a university we can continue to lead the way with AI." The programme, delivered by the University of Edinburgh's world-leading Innovation Hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, the Bayes Centre in collaboration with Edinburgh Innovations, will feature monthly in-person workshops complemented by additional activities delivered online and two trips to London. The AI Accelerator gives companies a platform to shape their investment strategies and connect with potential investors. Participants also take part in expert-led workshops covering pricing, leadership, and scaling - all designed to drive commercial growth. The University of Edinburgh is home to the largest centres for computing science and informatics in Europe. Through access to its academic expertise and links into the Data- Driven Innovation hubs, AI Accelerator participants will also benefit from collaboration and business exposure opportunities. Among last year's participants were Chirrup, a business that helps landholders to thrive with biodiversity, by providing sensors and reporting tools that show the level of natural capital they already have. Gaining clarity on their "bullseye target" at the AI accelerator enabled Chirrup to concentrate their efforts on food processor intermediaries. This focused approach facilitated the development of marketing and sales tools specifically crafted to address these clients' unique challenges and maximise value. Dr. Murray Collins, CEO, Space Intelligence who participated in the 2021 cohort commented, "The programme introduced us to the different skills needed to grow a business over and above our academic and technical ability. As a result, we have grown significantly, including raising investment at seed and Series A stages from with investment from global name entities like Equinor and Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), owners of the New York Stock Exchange. "Since the Accelerator, we've publicly worked with major clients, such as Shell and Apple, and won several funding competitions that have helped to solidify our position as a leading player in this space." Katy Guthrie, Programme Manager of the AI Accelerator, said: "AI is having a profoundly positive impact on companies and their growth across the globe and through our programme we are helping transform innovative start-ups into world-leading companies and supporting wider economic growth. Space Intelligence is just one example of the success that can be achieved, and we are inviting startups and scaleups from tech-businesses across the globe to join us. "We've also decided to open our selection process to encourage a broader range of businesses to benefit, and we'll be refocusing on scaleups with products that are ready to make an impact."

South East Technological University (SETU), in collaboration with Carlow County Council and Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG, has launched Station House, a new rural innovation hub in Hacketstown, County Carlow. The initiative is part of SETU's TU RISE programme, designed to strengthen regional enterprise by connecting businesses with university expertise and support. As the only university in the region, SETU is committed to driving research and innovation that delivers real impact. Station House is the first of four rural innovation hubs being developed under TU RISE, creating dedicated spaces for enterprise owners to engage with SETU and its partners. The hub will provide opportunities to develop key skills in areas such as innovation, digitalisation, succession planning, and sustainability. Brian Ogilvie, Head of Entrepreneurship and Rural Engagement at SETU, said: "This initiative offers business owners outside of the main urban areas access to SETU's expertise and support. The hub will play an instrumental role in empowering the area, equipping it with the necessary tools and skills for sustainable growth. SETU is committed to working with industry, ensuring that regional businesses can leverage cutting-edge research and enterprise support to help grow their business." By bringing together university resources, partner organisations, and the expertise of local business owners, Station House will serve as a key asset to the local community. Professor Marie Claire Van Hout, Vice President for Research, Innovation and Impact at SETU, highlighted the hub's role in supporting economic growth: "This endeavour aligns with SETU's mission to drive progress, nurture economic growth, and elevate the competitiveness of the region. Station House is the first of four rural-based hubs which SETU is developing under the TU-RISE initiative in the South East region. SETU's experience in fostering rural innovation has shown that these hubs are more than just spaces; they are catalysts for economic growth, equipping micro, small, and medium enterprises with the skills, technology, and networks needed to compete in an increasingly fast-paced global economy." Station House has been developed through a partnership approach, bringing together key stakeholders to support rural enterprise. Coilín O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Carlow County Council, said: "Enterprise spaces and rural hubs are crucial for fostering entrepreneurship and economic resilience. Carlow County Council is proud to deliver this project in partnership with Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG, with funding from the Town & Village Renewal Scheme. This investment has also enabled an exciting collaboration with TU RISE at South East Technological University, strengthening the support ecosystem for enterprise development. Station House is a flagship example of how strategic partnerships can drive meaningful opportunities for rural communities, ensuring businesses have the space, resources, and support to start, scale, and succeed." SETU encourages business owners to take advantage of the opportunities available through Station House and the broader TU RISE initiative. SETU TU RISE is co-financed by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.

# 161 - How Grower Groups Are Making an Impact with Pippa Jones from Macintyre Ag Alliance

Profitable Farmer

Running a farm comes with its fair share of challenges, and it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. But some of the biggest opportunities for growth come from stepping outside our own operations, connecting with others, and learning from those facing similar challenges. Stronger businesses, smarter decisions, and a more resilient industry all start with farmers coming together and sharing knowledge. This episode is all about the power of grower groups - why they matter, the impact they have, and why getting involved can be a game-changer for your farm and business. I'm joined by Pippa Jones, who, alongside her husband, runs a mixed farm near Goondiwindi, QLD. Beyond the farm, Pippa has played a key role in the Macintyre Ag Alliance, helping to drive innovation and support for local farmers. She also works as an extension officer with NSW Local Land Services and represents the Northern NSW Drought and Innovation Hub. On top of that, she's a 2024 Nuffield Scholar, exploring how carbon farming can be both a profitable opportunity for farmers and better supported on a global scale. Together, in this episode, we explore: The critical role of grower groups like Macintyre Ag Alliance and the impact they're having in southern Queensland and northern NSW. Why getting involved in these networks goes far beyond just improving technical farming skills. How simplifying your farm business model can give you the time and space to pursue off-farm interests, leadership roles, and industry impact. Why we should all back ourselves as leaders, even if we don't see ourselves that way just yet. At Farm Owners Academy, we're proud to be partnering with Macintyre Ag Alliance and other grower groups across Australia to help farmers connect, learn, and thrive. If you haven't yet, I encourage you to seek out your local grower groups and engage with your regional drought and innovation hubs-they offer invaluable resources and networks that can help you navigate challenges and future-proof your farm business.

The Ireland Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) has announced that it is launching a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovation Hub. Developed to serve as a central hub of AI expertise and education, it will equip the project management profession with the knowledge and skills to integrate AI technologies across their organisations. By enabling project management professionals to leverage AI in their roles to better manage AI projects, the hub will deliver efficiency and automation to organisations. It will also help to address the challenges associated with AI usage, from ethics to governance. In turn, companies of all sizes and across all sectors will be empowered to adopt and implement AI - which has the potential to support innovation, boost competitiveness, and drive growth. This initiative ties in with the significant investment that PMI has made globally in AI over the past 18 months. This includes the creation of an AI platform called PMI Infinity, an AI-powered project management solution designed to strengthen expertise, streamline complex tasks, and maximise project success. Sponsored by business and IT consultancy emagine and set to officially launch on February 13th, the AI Innovation Hub in Ireland will host a number of events throughout 2025, from lunch-and-learns and webinars to hackathons. These hackathons will see project management professionals deploying AI tools to address specific challenges. Overseeing these activities is an AI Working Group within the Ireland Chapter of PMI - led by Declan Foster, the newly appointed Head of the AI Innovation Hub. In his role, Declan will leverage his consulting background and experience with his own startup to promote the adoption of AI and enable change management. Alongside Declan, the AI Working Group includes technical experts, thought leaders and data consultants across multiple sectors such as construction, property and business. The Ireland Chapter of PMI hopes to further grow this group from its now 3,500-strong membership base. Peter Glynne, President of the Ireland Chapter of PMI, said: "AI is such a hot topic and there's a lot of talk around it. The aim of our AI Innovation Hub is to cut through that noise and guide the project management profession through this time of AI change, whilst supporting them to deliver AI change over the coming years. Through collaboration and education, we want to help drive real impact with these fast-evolving technologies across all sectors. "The reality is that every industry needs to be across AI and tuned into the latest developments, such as agentic AI. By tapping into such trends - not just from a knowledge-sharing perspective but practically in our day-to-day jobs - we can enable AI innovation and leadership for the profession, for other sectors, and for Ireland as a whole." Gillian Whelan, CEO of emagine, added: "At emagine, we're empowering our clients to achieve their ambitions by harnessing the transformative power of technology and AI. By sponsoring the AI Innovation Hub, we are proud to support the next wave of innovation, enabling individuals and organisations to unlock new opportunities and excel on their AI journeys."

For this episode of the DCF Show podcast, Data Center Frontier Editor in Chief Matt Vincent and Senior Editor David Chernicoff speak with Tom Dakich, CEO of Quantum Corridor, about compute possibilities for his company's super-fast, super-secure fiber-optic network operating in the area of Chicagoland and Northern Indiana. Almost exactly a year ago, Quantum Corridor launched what the company bills as "one of the fastest, most secure fiber-optic networks in the Western Hemisphere" with its first transmissions from the Chicago ORD 10 Data Center at 350 E. Cermak Rd. to a data center in Hammond, Indiana. Formed in 2021 as a public-private partnership with the state of Indiana, Quantum Corridor was established to enable advanced Illinois and Indiana tech innovators to exchange data nearly instantaneously, the better to achieve frontline technology breakthroughs. Funded through a $4.0 million grant from the state of Indiana's READI grant program and with the cooperation of the Indiana Department of Transportation and Northwest Indiana Forum, Quantum Corridor's network is utilizing 263 miles of new and existing fiber-optic cable beneath the Indiana Toll Road to link data centers, quantum research facilities, life sciences and genome scientists and hyperscalers with industry-shattering speeds and throughput. Transmitting at data speeds reportedly 1,000x faster than traditional networks, on its launch in 2023, Quantum Corridor said the new network aims to enable regional businesses and institutions to achieve breakthroughs in the segments for defense, financial modeling, biotech, cybersecurity, machine learning, research and more. This optimism came on the heels of the Biden-Harris administration's designation last October of of the Chicago MSA as a U.S. Regional Technology and Innovation Hub. With its first transmissions, Quantum Corridor achieved a latency of 0.266 milliseconds of information exchange over its current 12-mile network—a transmission speed 500 times faster than the blink of an eye and far exceeding the average network's existing 12-times-longer latency. The combination of near-instantaneous transmissions paired with massive throughput is expected to enable exponential breakthroughs in modeling and problem solving across myriad industries. Quantum Corridor continues to expand its mileage and connect research facilities. According to the company, the network already has the capacity to transmit nearly the entire current content load of the internet in a single transmission.

There is an unusual one-of-kind competition brewing within the Indian fintech space. It is so disruptive that its leaving founders and chief executives of some of India's biggest fintechs feeling pretty intimidated and also helpless. The funny thing is, the brains behind this new competitor that's left the whole industry feeling pretty blindsided is the Reserve Bank of India itself. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the banking regulator. And it's called the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub or RBIH. The RBIH has been around for two years now. It's a first-of-its kind sort of company, because it is led by a central bank. Now, perhaps its closest counterpart, would be the National Payments Corporation of India or NPCI. We all know it for creating the unified payments interface or UPI. The NPCI is owned by a consortium of banks, whereas the RBIH is wholly owned by the regulator. It's raison detre is simple: it's meant to accelerate innovation across the financial sector. But unlike the NPCI, which collaborates with lenders in some way or the other to develop its products, the RBIH asks lenders to participate.

The Rise of Fintech in Ireland

The Lead Podcast presented by Heart Rhythm Society

The Fintech sector in Ireland has emerged as a major force in the global financial landscape, reshaping how financial services are delivered and consumed. Since its early days in the 2000s, driven by technological advancements in payment solutions and e-money services, Ireland has become a notable hub, boasting a Fintech adoption rate of 71%, well above the global average of 64% as of 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this shift, with mobile banking transactions rising by approximately 54% during that period, demonstrating a significant shift towards digital financial solutions among consumers. Prominent companies, including Stripe, Mastercard, and TransferMate, have established strong roots in the country, benefiting from a supportive regulatory framework implemented by the Central Bank of Ireland. This framework encompasses a wide array of areas, such as open banking, cryptocurrency, and crowdfunding, fostering an environment conducive to innovation and investment. By the end of 2021, Ireland was home to over 280 domestic Fintech firms and 130 international players, indicating robust growth in the sector and positioning the country as a vibrant hub for financial technology. Historical Background The journey of Fintech in Ireland can be traced back to the early 2000s when technology began to disrupt traditional financial services. Initial advancements focused on payment solutions and e-money services, laying the groundwork for subsequent growth in the sector. By the end of 2021, the payments and e-money sector experienced a 45% increase in firms and an 83% rise in transactions, highlighting a significant shift towards digital services among consumers. Key Players in the Irish Fintech Scene Ireland's Fintech ecosystem features a mix of established firms and innovative startups. Prominent companies like Stripe, Mastercard, and TransferMate have leveraged Ireland's favourable environment to grow their operations. Besides these giants, numerous startups like CurrencyFair, Payslip, and ID-Pal are making strides in specialised areas, such as foreign currency exchange, payroll management, and Know Your Customer (KYC) solutions. Regulatory bodies like the Central Bank of Ireland play a crucial role in supporting these developments, offering frameworks that cover payments, open banking, cryptocurrency, and crowdfunding. The Innovation Hub, set up by the Central Bank, has provided engagement opportunities for over 300 Fintech companies since its establishment. Regulatory Framework and Government Support The regulatory framework governing the Fintech sector in Ireland is multifaceted and operates within both national and European contexts. Key institutions involved include the Central Bank of Ireland, which serves as the primary regulator for financial services in the country. Central Bank of Ireland The Central Bank is responsible for authorising and supervising financial services providers in Ireland, ensuring compliance with prudential and conduct of business requirements. It is an integrated regulator, with its powers and responsibilities defined under the Central Bank of Ireland Act of 1942 and subsequent amendments. The Bank actively participates in EU policy development, engaging with the Department of Finance and other stakeholders to influence new EU legislation. This includes oversight of regulated entities and enforcement actions against breaches of financial services legislation. Compliance and Reporting Fintech companies categorised as "designated persons" under the Criminal Justice Act 2010 are required to adhere to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules. These regulations are applicable regardless of a company's authorisation status, with EU and Irish financial sanctions also relevant to all Fintech firms. The Funds Transfer Regulation further mandates payment service providers to ensure proper information accompanies fund transfers to aid in the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.
