I've kicked off a new series here on The Hot Desk, called Bold Moves. It's all about people who started a new business during the Pandemic, ie through the most extraordinary and challenging of times.

My first guest on Bold Moves is Isabel Ronayne Healy, who runs Isabel's Place on Main Street in Dungarvan. She told me what inspires her, how she pivoted and what her hopes are for the future...

A new course has commenced in Waterford, centred around the rapidly growing technology of 3D printing.

Hosted by  South Eastern Applied Materials (SEAM) research centre in WIT, 3DWIT is a specialised group estalished to  unique hands-on training in the field of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing.

The training is in response to the educational requirements of industries looking to adopt this technology to meet the needs of the developing manufacturing sector within Ireland.

I found out more from Director at SEAM, Dr Ramesh Raghavendra..

.IE, the national domain registry in Ireland has launched the Digital Town Awards, developed to recognise the good work and achievements of local towns who have used digital technologies to keep their communities connected over the past twelve months.
