The witnesses were previously asked about other countries in the EU that are progressing well with AI. France is well ahead, as is Estonia as regards the whole area of digitalisation. I will come back to the previous question I asked around the commercialisation of particular research projects that are coming through the pipeline. I am very conscious that we create an indigenous AI economy, not just here in Ireland but across Europe. There needs to be homogeny across Europe, and we need to stop looking at it from a siloed point of view in terms of each country.

What is the engagement like with Enterprise Ireland to ensure funding for those projects and the PhDs that are ready for commercialisation and going into business?
