Ireland’s Inaugural ‘Digital First’ Day Announced By Minister Humphreys
Ireland’s first ever ‘Digital First’ Day will take place on November 16th 2022 with the goal of putting the power of digital to work in communities across the country, by creating a national conversation about the benefits of digital growth to people, organisations and communities in towns and villages across Ireland.
Our Training and Promotion for Business Districts
The goal of a ‘Digital First Community’ is to put a virtual hurley in the hands of localities so that they can use digital to unite to fight for investment, remote workers, home buyers, shoppers and visitors as a team with their local Hub as their rallying point and their smartphone as their ally.
The projection of our work in Dun Laoghaire is our monthly Dun Laoghaire Town Chronicle which provides the rallying point and showcase for the town and its community of small businesses and social enterprises.
