It has been announced today that the deadline for this year's Digital Boost Initiative from Eircom Business Solutions has been extended from 31st March to 30th April.

This is the second and final round for the popular programme, which provides support for Irish SMEs to enhance their online presence.

€100,000 funding remains available to share between the winners, part of the €250,000 seed fund designed to offer tangible assistance to the SME community in four key areas: business mobility, digital training, sales and marketing and business productivity.

Eircom Business Solutions has partnered with Google, PayPal, Samsung, The Digital Marketing Institute, Isobar and Salesforce as part of this initiative to deliver a suite of digital funding to the 17 successful applicants in Round I.

The second and final round of Digital Boost is now open for entry until the 30th April

David Walsh, Director of SME and Commercial, eircom Business Solutions said, "We were very encouraged by the huge response from SMEs, who are realising the opportunities that the right digital presence can mean for their business.

The high standard of applicants in Round I of Digital Boost has already been matched by the applicants we have seen in Round II, but there is still time to apply. This fund is a key pillar of our overall strategy to support the growth of Irish SMEs, and to help build digital expertise within those organisations."
