DUBLIN – 19 November, 2018 Host in Ireland, a strategic global initiative created to increase awareness of the benefits of hosting digital assets in Ireland as well as Irish companies that are designing, building and operating data centres globally, today announces its sponsorship of the AI Awards Ireland 2018, taking place 22 November in Dublin.

AI Ireland is a non-profit community devoted to promoting artificial intelligence (AI) in Ireland. AI Ireland, through the AI Awards, aims to increase public awareness of AI and bring academia and industry together to showcase the excellent work done on the island of Ireland.

“Ireland’s world-leading relationship with data and the companies involved in driving data-driven innovation has spanned over six decades. With data being slated to grow by 30 percent just within the next decade, Ireland must be innovative to continue being at the forefront of this data evolution,” says Garry Connolly, Founder and President of Host in Ireland. “AI brings this opportunity to Ireland, and Host in Ireland is delighted to sponsor the AI Awards to help in the promotion, acknowledgement, and celebration of all that Ireland’s data leaders have to offer.”

This year there are six categories which highlight the achievements in a number of industries, ranging from start-ups to established companies and individuals. Winners for each category will be announced at the awards ceremony.
