Digital Transformation Flexible Fund

The Digital Transformation Flexible Fund (DTFF) is a demand-led grant scheme aimed at establishing a Northern Ireland wide fund to stimulate digital innovation. It seeks to address the financial barriers to the adoption of advanced digital technologies to achieve business transformation amongst small and micro-businesses.

DTFF grants are worth between £5,000 and £20,000 ex VAT and are designed to help small and micro businesses accelerate their digital transformation ambitions.

Expressions of Interest (EoI) for Call 3 will open on 17 June 2024.

Interested applicants should attend a pre-briefing session before submitting an Expression of Interest. Several councils across Northern Ireland are hosting in-person pre-briefing sessions.

Please  register for a briefing session near you.

You can also register to join the free thematic webinars from the William J. Clinton Leadership Institute, focusing on the advanced digital technologies eligible for funding under the DTFF. The webinars will take place between 21 May and 25 June 2024. 

DTFF is delivered by all local authorities in Northern Ireland under the Full Fibre Northern Ireland Consortium and supported by Invest Northern Ireland. The project is part funded by the NI Executive, UK Government, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and all local councils in Northern Ireland.
