The Digi Manufacturing 2.0 programme developed by IDEAM (Irish Digital Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing) and Manufacturing NI has been officially launched at Technological University of the Shannon.

The overarching aim of the initiative is to create and enhance new cross-border strategic value chains and enhance the green uptake between both Manufacturing NI and IDEAM Cluster manufacturing SMEs.

The project is being delivered with support from InterTradeIreland’s Synergy initiative. Synergy is a cross-border cluster initiative which aims to scale cross-border collaboration among SMEs and other players such as universities, third-sector organisations and government agencies using cluster and networking supports with a particular focus on meeting 2050 Net Zero and Global Green Deal targets.

InterTradeIreland are delighted to represent all-island cluster views by participating on the Stakeholder Committee of EU project, ACCELERATE GDT.

The purpose of the project, which was officially launched in April, is to reinvent national and regional cluster policies to support the twin green and digital transitions and SMEs competitiveness.

The four-year, two phase €1.51 Million project draws partners from European ministries, national policy makers, regional development organisations and universities, and are participating to share learn and experiences which will make cluster policies in partner regions more impactful in supporting industry on their twin transition journeys.
