Skillnet Innovation Exchange is Ireland's innovation marketplace, connecting large corporates facing digital transformation challenges with ambitious Irish SMEs that have the talent to fast-track solutions. Managed by Furthr in partnership with Skillnet Ireland, the programme helps organisations improve competitiveness and unlock growth through digital transformation, AI adoption and sustainability innovation, and has supported AI navigator initiatives helping SMEs move from awareness to practical adoption.

Collaboration with AIM: As an associated partner in the AIM consortium, Skillnet Innovation Exchange contributes insight into the real-world AI adoption challenges and opportunities facing scaling Irish SMEs, supporting the project's mapping of AI resources and the development of practical, business-relevant training content. The Exchange gains value from the partnership through access to AI best practices and tools that strengthen its own innovation marketplace and its support for the digital transformation of MSMEs across Europe.
