The Dell Technologies Forum took place yesterday at the Convention Centre Dublin with Rhasidat Adeleke, Irish Olympian and national sprinting record holder, and Bruce Daisley, former Head of Twitter EMEA, author and culture coach headlining the event which showcased how the power of AI can be unlocked to drive innovation, productivity and business growth.

The event brought together more than 500 business and IT leaders at the Convention Centre Dublin to discuss latest developments in Generative AI (GenAI), Edge Computing and managing complexity in multi-cloud environments.

This comes as recent research undertaken by Dell as part of the Innovation Catalysts Study revealed that while 70% of organisations here in Ireland believe GenAI is a strong catalyst for innovation, 49% are struggling to keep pace with advancements in those technologies. 

They cite the lack of the right talent (43%), lack of budget (33%) and an outdated technology environment (32%) as challenges they face in driving innovation.

Rhasidat Adeleke took to the stage to share insights from the world of elite sport on achieving peak performance on and off the track. 

Jason Ward, EMEA North Vice-president, Dell Technologies Ireland, said: “AI’s potential to transform industries, drive productivity and accelerate innovation is now undeniable. As the business landscape evolves at an unprecedented pace, it’s essential for leaders across the island of Ireland to act swiftly in adopting GenAI and other advanced technologies to compete into the future.”
