DigitalHQ clg are delighted to announce that Arnault Morisson, Ramon Marrades and John Evoy have joined our Advisory Panel.
At DigitalHQ we believe that by working together we can make a positive contribution to rejuvenating our town centres by helping get indigenous small businesses back up on their feet through digital. Our new panel members will be very helpful to this mission.

Arnault is a Thematic Expert in Research and Innovation for regions with a focus on Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) / Regional Innovation Strategies and Regional Economic Development. He is currently carrying out post doctoral research on the topic “Places that don`t matter? Socio-economic transformation of industrial towns in Switzerland and Slovenia”.

Ramon is co-editor of the book “Our City? Countering Exclusion in Public Space” (2019) and the host and co-curator of Placemaking Week Europe 2019.

While the Board of DigitalHQ monitor and facilitate the progress of our not-for-profit company, the goal of the Advisory Panel is to form an informal group of people that are aligned with our mission, prepared to meet on an occasional basis and lean in on relevant projects/initiatives subject to their existing commitments.
