Final call for Derry businesses to submit application for Digital Transformation funding

Local businesses interested in benefitting from improved digital capability assisted by the Digital Transformation Flexible Fund (DTFF) have until next Friday, March 14, to submit their expressions of interest.

Submissions can be made up until 12 noon on 14th March, with capital grant funding of between £5000 and £20,000 available to support eligible businesses keen to accelerate their digital performance.

The Fund is delivered by all local authorities in Northern Ireland under the Full Fibre Northern Ireland Consortium (FFNI) and supported by Invest NI. The project is part funded by the NI Executive, UK Government, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and all local authorities.

Explaining more about the support, Business Development Manager with Derry City and Strabane District Council, Danielle McNally said: “This is a unique and innovative funding opportunity for businesses to introduce new technologies that will really enhance both their profile and their performance.

"Many local enterprises are unaware of the support that’s out there and we are really encouraging local companies to tap into opportunities like the DTFF to get the maximum benefit for their venture.”

A special event took place on February 27 offering guidance for any local business seeking advice on the application process and keen to hear more about the many benefits of adopting advanced digital technologies.

With just one week to go companies are urged to make their submissions now via dtff.co.uk/apply-now/
