    Tech firm Expleo is investing a €100,000 Covid-19 recovery package to help businesses back on their feet following the pandemic.

    This will include free consultancy services in the likes of business strategy, digital transformation, change management and business agility.

    Businesses of any size operating in all sectors will be offered the services, which will also cover the initial assessment of their professional needs, referral to a leading consultant and in-depth business analysis to establish a clear plan of action.

    Expleo, which has offices in Belfast and Dublin, states it is the "technology partner for innovative companies" and announced it "feels very strongly that the business community needs to work together to overcome the challenges set by Covid-19."

    Business group Ibec anticipates that investment in Irish will fall by as much as 40% this year and the economy will continue to be impacted by the pandemic ‘well into 2021’ as organisations continue to suffer from the disruption of the health crisis.

    With government restrictions easing, companies are now looking to the future and the key areas they need to address to limit the pandemic’s impact on their day-to-day functions, supply chains and ability to operate to full capacity.

    With digital transformation expected to play a central role in economic recovery, Expleo believes its services can give Irish businesses a vital boost.

    “Economic hardship can inspire great innovation and entrepreneurial thinking. We want to embark on that journey with Irish businesses to help them thrive in the years ahead and make our economy stronger as a result.”
