Sligo tech centre’s Galway collaboration
The AIM Centre is stepping up its efforts to strengthen connections with manufacturing and services companies in the MedTech and Life Sciences sectors with the opening of its new base in Galway.
The Sligo-based centre is already at the forefront of using new and emerging technologies to advance manufacturing processes and supply chains for businesses and students in the north-west of Ireland.
Now this move to join the Landing Studio at CREW on Wellpark Road in Galway city as anchor tenant is a major milestone for the organisation – the first time the AIM Centre has expanded beyond its Sligo HQ. This was supported by the Western Development Commission.
The AIM Centre works with manufacturing and service companies to build capability, accelerate innovation and embed AI and digitalisation across their business.
The Landing Studio at CREW is a hub for innovation-led start-ups. The AIM Centre’s landmark decision to join the hub forms part of organisation’s growth strategy, a key plank of which is developing links with key industry clusters, particularly the MedTech and Life Sciences sectors in the Galway region.
The AIM Centre is an initiative of Sligo County Council, Leitrim County Council, and Atlantic Technological University, supported by Enterprise Ireland.
It is also home to Ireland’s National AI Studio for Manufacturing – a permanent, live demonstration environment based at AIM's Sligo headquarters, where companies can see real-world AI use cases in operation before committing to investment.
AIM focuses on whole-of-business transformation. It is already planning to a series of events to boost engagement with key sectors in Galway in the coming months.
