The Innovation Exchange presented  ‘Skillnet Innovation Exchange – an Introduction’   on  Tuesday March 26th 2024 

The CEIA is extremely pleased to collaborate with The Innovation Exchange to promote the business of developing digital transformation solutions and offering the opportunity to grow a organisation’s sales pipeline.

In February 2022 Skillnet Innovation Exchange was launched by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris T.D. The Minister, with Skillnet Ireland, announced a €5 million investment in Skillnet Innovation Exchange to address the barriers that exist for SMEs engaging with large multinational organisations.

The investment will support over 1,000 companies between 2022-2025.

Skillnet Innovation Exchange is where businesses facing digital transformation challenges are connected with innovative solutions providers with the talent to help them achieve their ambitions.

Large corporates get access to Ireland’s most talented solutions providers and to collaborations that accelerate digital transformation.

Scaling technology companies get an instant sales pipeline as well as access to key decision makers, market intelligence and the capability to sell to large corporates.
