Galvia AI will begin running 5-week intensive Accelerator programmes for Irish SMEs from January 2025.
Irish SMEs can now avail of support from Enterprise Ireland’s Digital Discovery grant for Galvia’s – one of Ireland’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) firms – new AI-Accelerator programme.
The Galvia AI Accelerator is a 5-week, hands-on programme, with the first cohort beginning in January 2025, and is designed to help Irish SMEs across Ireland integrate transformative AI solutions into their businesses.
“Integrating new technologies can be daunting, but our mission is to show that organisations don’t need huge resources to unlock the power of their data”
It is designed to simplify AI technologies and help SMEs from all across Ireland to tap into the potential of their data by offering practical, cost-effective solutions through the power of AI technology.
Galvia plans to run one Accelerator per quarter, which costs a total of €4,995. Applications are open for SMEs in all sectors across all of Ireland and can be made here.
Unlock the power of your data
“We are hugely appreciative and delighted that Enterprise Ireland is offering support to Irish SMEs that wish to participate in our AI-Accelerator programme,” said John Clancy, CEO of Galvia.
“Integrating new technologies can be daunting, but our mission is to show that organisations don’t need huge resources to unlock the power of their data.
“Our programme will guide participants toward a better understanding of how to leverage their data effectively and strategically, providing a clear pathway for integrating AI into their operations.”
The AI-Accelerator will be delivered in a hybrid format at Galway’s innovation hub Platform94, and includes options of virtual sessions and in-person workshops. Key partners for the programme include Platform94 and law firm Byrne Wallace LLP, who will deliver workshops on the legal implications of AI.
Participating SMEs will collaborate with the programme’s experts to develop machine learning models and applications tailored to their specific needs, using their own data to create custom solutions that generate revenue, drive engagement and ensure sustainable growth.
By the end of the programme, participants will have a clear understanding of what to do with their data and a strategic plan of how to integrate AI into their business.
The aim of Enterprise Ireland’s Digital Discovery grant is to incentivise and support companies to introduce new digital technologies and solutions into their operations. Eligible companies must be supported by Enterprise Ireland, and can now apply for 80% net funding from Enterprise Ireland to participate in the Galvia AI-Accelerator.
“Enterprise Ireland is committed to supporting Irish-owned companies to start, grow, scale and to achieve their global ambition,” Ruairí Ó hAilín from Enterprise Ireland said.
“Helping companies further understand the capabilities of digital tools such as AI, as they seek to introduce new technologies and solutions into their businesses is key to driving sustainable growth and competitiveness in export markets. We encourage all companies to explore how digitalisation can help their business to grow, including businesses who are eligible to utilise the Digital Discovery grant.”
