At ENTIRE EDIH, we recognise that digital transformation is not solely about technology—it is about people, collaboration, and shared growth. Our Networking & Ecosystem pillar is dedicated to fostering strong connections across regional, national, and European landscapes, ensuring that SMEs and public sector organisations are fully integrated into a dynamic digital community.

Our Network

ENTIRE brings together the leading innovation experts in digital technologies from across the Southern Region of Ireland. At the core of ENTIRE EDIH is a strategic consortium of nationally and internationally recognised institutions, each offering deep domain expertise and practical experience in delivering digital innovation:

  • Tyndall National Institute – Expertise in IoT Smart Sensors and advanced electronics.
  • Walton Institute at South East Technological University – Leaders in IoT Networks and High-Performance Computing (HPC).
  • Munster Technological University (MTU) – Specialists in Cybersecurity and digital infrastructure.
  • University College Cork (UCC) – A centre of excellence in Artificial Intelligence and data-driven technologies.
  • Skillnet Ireland – National leaders in SME-focused digital skills onboarding and workforce development.

Together, this consortium provides a full spectrum of support—from technology testing and adoption to business strategy and skills development. ENTIRE acts as a single point of access, brokering the technical, financial, and skills-based support services needed to drive digital transformation. Whether you’re an SME, a start-up, or a public service organisation, ENTIRE is designed to help you adopt digital technologies that improve productivity, competitiveness, and impact.

Regional Ecosystem Reach

Beyond its core partners, ENTIRE EDIH has access to an extensive regional network of collaborators, stakeholders, and innovation enablers. This includes:

  • Local enterprise offices and development agencies
  • Regional clusters and sectoral associations
  • Incubators, accelerators, and testbeds
  • Civil society and public sector bodies
  • Training providers and skills networks

This regional reach allows ENTIRE to connect clients with a broad ecosystem of expertise, resources, and collaboration opportunities. It ensures that our services are grounded in the real needs of the region and that clients can benefit from a tailored and well-connected innovation journey—amplified through national and European networks.

National Collaboration

At a national level, ENTIRE EDIH partners with other Irish European Digital Innovation Hubs, industry associations, and government bodies to align strategies and resources. Through these coordinated efforts, we aim to streamline support services, improve access to funding opportunities, and promote digital skills across the country. This collaborative approach ensures that organisations throughout Ireland benefit from a connected and effective support network for their digital transformation journeys.

European Integration

As part of the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) network, ENTIRE EDIH extends its reach beyond Ireland’s borders. We participate in cross-border initiatives, engage in EU-funded projects, and collaborate with other EDIHs across Europe to share knowledge and expertise. This European integration enables us to bring international best practice to our local stakeholders and offer Irish organisations access to wider innovation ecosystems and opportunities.
