Groups in Dungarvan are working together to try and create a digital transformation hub in the town.
The initiative is a joint venture between Waterford Council, Dungarvan Chamber, Waterford LEO and a number of industry partners.
The aim is to enable Dungarvan to achieve its potential and become a thriving 21st century town.
The initial focus of the Hub will be on providing safe, remote workspace in the town centre for people currently struggling while working from home due to the Covid pandemic. And for those people who will be in a blended working situation over the next number of years.
Thereafter, the Hub will expand its services to allow all business in the area, large medium and small, embrace the opportunities offered by digital transformation. Through collaboration with mentors and experts at a national level, local businesses can re-imagine their processes, culture and customer experience with tailored solutions.
Survey seeks input
A survey is being conducted to get input on the future needs and priorities of the hub to ensure it meets the needs of all the people from the Dungarvan area. The survey is anonymous and can be accessed on the websites and social media platforms of Waterford City and County Council, Dungarvan and West Waterford Chamber of Commerce and Waterford Local Enterprise Office.
#WorkLiveDungarvan is an initiative which will set Dungarvan up for a future in enterprise that will be sustainable, vibrant, collaborative and, most certainly, digital in focus. The Partners are appealing to all people interested in the future of Dungarvan to complete the survey. It is the first part of the process and will contribute to the creation of Dungarvan’s future. Today.
Kieran Kehoe, Director of Services with the Council and designated Dungarvan Town Manager says:
"The Council has commenced 'Dungarvan 2040 – a Strategic Urban Development Framework' and this will be a hugely important piece of work. But this digital transformation initiative will parallel this framework and will ensure investment in Dungarvan’s enterprise infrastructure at the same time as its broader future is being planned. So the big immediate ask is for people to take the survey and help Dungarvan’s future journey begin."
