What is the Hartree Centre NI Hub?
The Hartree Centre NI Hub sits alongside the Cardiff and North East Hub to form the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) programme. This programme was devised to improve digital adoption across businesses, targeting funding and support toward United Kingdom SMEs.
Ulster University's Derry~Londonderry campus will become a regional hub for the programme, and provide targeted and accessible support for local SMEs to improve their competitiveness and growth through the adoption of digital technologies and methods.
This support will assist regional SMEs in taking full advantage of the digital adoption expertise available from the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Hartree Centre including areas such as:
- supercomputing
- data analytics
- visual computing
- artificial intelligence (AI)
The universities will also use their own in-house expertise and industry engagement experience to enable the transfer and exchange of knowledge into UK businesses to enhance their productivity, innovation and growth.
Through this initiative, the Hartree Centre aims to establish an SME engagement support network across the UK, which connects its advanced digital technologies and expertise to other established regional networks of industry-led research and innovation.
