Start your Digital Journey
For successful businesses, digitalisation isn’t an option, it is a crucial advantage that allows them to compete and win. The pandemic proved this: Irish companies with strong digital strategies and capabilities have been better able to recover and grow again in international markets. Whether you’re looking to move to the cloud, enhance customer experience, or improve your cyber security, digital will be the critical success factor for your business.
If taking the first steps in your digital journey is proving a challenge, Enterprise Ireland is here to help.

Business Benefits
Move to the Cloud
Running applications and hosting data in the Cloud has huge advantages for companies. Businesses can scale flexibly and securely without incurring substantial infrastructure costs. And they can avail of cutting edge technologies like AI and data analytics from leading cloud providers.
Enhance Customer Experience
Customers increasingly expect seamless, secure and intuitive digital experiences at every touchpoint. Digitalisation can drive improvements in sales, marketing, service and customer lifecycle management including cross-selling and upselling. The result is greater revenue growth and customer retention
Improve your Cybersecurity
An increase in malicious cyber attacks, cybercrimes like ‘phishing’, and data theft for fraud mean that information security needs to be a top priority for all businesses. Strengthening cybersecurity allows your company to grow securely and give customers the trust that they demand.
Your Digital Roadmap
Effectively digitalising your business can help you to increase efficiencies, enhance how you sell to customers, and develop new products and services. But when it comes to planning, it’s important to think beyond technology: your strategy, your people and culture, and your internal processes are all critical elements of your digital roadmap.

Testimonials
“Being a HPSU client gives you access to Enterprise Ireland’s best business network who can support you on a global scale through their international offices. You are assigned a mentor and a dedicated Development Advisor which is invaluable to a start-up. One of the key challenges facing any start-up is staffing and Enterprise Ireland provided solid advice and support through the process.”
— Irene Villafañe, COO and Co-Founder of Calt Dynamics
“The High Potential Start-up Founders Forum has been a great source of comfort. While other founders may work in different industries, the challenges are the same and a different perspective can be key to unlocking a solution. The benefits reaped from the Founders Forum will depend entirely on what each group put into it. We have had a very strong group and are still in regular contact two years later.”
— Brian Shields, CEO, Neurent Medical
“The latest announcement of the creation of 100 new jobs at Odyssey VC headquarters is a very positive indication of the significant growth we have achieved. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years on our start-up journey, including Kildare Local Enterprise Office and Enterprise Ireland who have supported us every step of the way.”
