Chairperson of Digital Business Ireland, Ashley McDonnell said “This year has marked a profound change in the way businesses operate, engage and propagate their goods, wares and services online. Futuristic technologies have become mainstream, with the proliferation of new AI applications and businesses. This kind of technological advancement has caused disruption to every sector from retail to hospitality to professional services, and we need to be prepared to not only deal with the change but position our online businesses to become world leaders in the space.”
