Showcasing digitalisation good practices and innovative projects developed in the Irish Midlands
Next Wednesday the 26th of May, the Eastern & Midland Regional Assembly will host an online learning event which will explore innovative digital solutions which are contributing to Healthy Placemaking, Climate Action and Economic Opportunity across the Midlands.
Between 10am and 11:40am, our invited speakers will showcase innovative digital solutions, cutting edge research and public policy responses which are enhancing the attractiveness of the Midlands as a place to live, work and do business.
COVID-19 and the resulting surge in remote working has brought to the fore the importance of creating a culture of digitalisation and the need for the public and private sector to work together to identify innovative solutions and to enhance regional attractiveness.
