Research & Development
Enterprise Ireland launches competitive process for National Designation of European Digital Innovation Hubs
The EDIHs will be “one-stop-shops”, with a research and technology organisation (RPO) or Higher Education Institution (HEI) based lab at its core. They will support businesses (mainly SMEs) and organisations in their digital transformation and will disseminate and support the adoption of technologies inCybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC). They will be jointly funded by the European Commission and Enterprise Ireland up to €2 million per year.
We believe it is essential that at least one of the three Irish designated EDIHs is focused on providing Cyber Security expertise to support Irish SMEs across all sectors.

SFI Award for PVAsec (UCC): Personal Voice Assistant Security and Privacy
Personal Voice Assistants (PVAs) collect sensitive information such as conversations and sound cues and are used to access important computer systems requiring access control. Thus, people have legitimate concerns regarding their privacy and the security of these systems. Professor Utz Roedig at University College Cork will lead a new SFI Frontiers for the Future award to develop methods that let us use PVAs securely, and in a way that respects our privacy concerns.
