Digital4Business

As a future-facing digital agency, Skillnet Ireland is proud to be a partner in a new European online masters programme, Digital4Business.

Launched in March 2023, Digital4Business is a €19.92 million EU-funded project awarded under the DIGITAL Europe programme. It will accelerate digital transformation in Europe, helping businesses grow through innovation and the practical application of advanced digital skills

The Digital4Business Consortium includes 15 partners from seven EU countries — uniting some of Europe’s most prestigious higher education institutes, research centres, training providers and industry partners.

A new generation of digital decision-makers

Our consortium of business leaders and academic experts are developing a comprehensive online masters programme that will bridge the growing skills gap in the European jobs market. Our graduates will lead the next generation of digital decision-makers, enhancing the European workforce with in-demand practical digital skills, backed by a rigorous academic grounding. Modules include AI, data science, cybersecurity, digital transformation and cloud computing.

The fully accredited and industry-certified masters will be chiefly taught online, with optional seminars, guest lectures and in-person networking events. The practical nature of the programme will be enhanced through dedicated work experience opportunities and mobility programmes with some of Europe’s most high-profile organisations. It’s the future of business training.

Our contribution

Skillnet Ireland will engage with industry and contribute to the design of the Digital4Business programme curriculum, to respond to SME business needs and digital challenges. Skillnet Ireland will ensure the new short courses reach a wide number of SMEs, with a specific focus on Irish SMEs, while sharing learning, and coordinating with all partners to maximise the impact of the project.
