Got a digital challenge? Skillnet Innovation Exchange invites marine companies to bring it forward

Every marine business has one: the digital problem that's been sitting on someone's desk for months. It might be catch or vessel data still being rekeyed by hand, cold-chain or stock tracking that relies on spreadsheets, compliance reporting that eats a week every quarter, or energy costs in processing that nobody has had time to address.

The Skillnet Innovation Exchange is a government-backed programme that connects Irish organisations with pre-screened Irish tech companies that can solve problems like these. You describe the challenge, we write it up and put it out to the network, and you get a shortlist of vetted companies to talk to. There is no cost, no tender process and no obligation to proceed. It takes about two hours of your team's time in total.

Bring us the problem that's been sitting on your desk. Spend 45 minutes with the Innovation Exchange team and leave with a clear view of how, and how quickly, it can be solved.

To start the conversation, contact Gavin Jeffery at gavin@ludgate.ie and schedule a chat.
