New programme to help you boost productivity and growth with AI
AwakenHub, in partnership with Tech NI Advocates, has launched Activate AI, a new programme to help businesses in Northern Ireland use artificial intelligence (AI) to grow.
The programme will support 30 participants and is open to entrepreneurs, early-stage and scaling businesses. Applications are particularly welcome from women, minority and rural founders.
Activate AI will run from December 2025 to March 2026. It will include online and in-person sessions, four events with global AI leaders, and a final showcase where participants will demonstrate how AI has helped their business. Participants will gain practical tools, expert advice, and new connections to embed AI into their work and scale confidently.
AwakenHub will also publish an AI Implementation Toolkit to share insights with other businesses.
Interested businesses should register by 4 November 2025.

The programme is funded by the UK Government and the UK Tech Cluster Group as part of the Regional Tech Booster scheme supported by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
