PLUGINMOVE MEETS LORD MAYOR OF BELFAST

A Game-Changer for Belfast’s Digital Future

Tuesday 25 March 2025

Belfast, Northern Ireland – In a forward-thinking discussion on the future of connectivity in Belfast, PLUGINMOVE, the innovative provider of rentable, portable power bank stations, recently met with Lord Mayor Mickey Murray to present their vision for a digitally empowered city. The meeting, held at Ulster Bank Accelerator Hub, underscored the growing need for accessible charging solutions in high-footfall areas and the economic potential they bring to Northern Ireland.

Lord Mayor Murray, impressed by the company’s mission and impact, remarked, “I’ll be recommending those who have public space in their premises to consider partnering with them.” His endorsement signals a major step toward integrating PLUGINMOVE’s technology into Belfast’s public and commercial spaces, paving the way for a more connected and future-proof city.

Powering Businesses, Boosting the Economy

PLUGINMOVE’s stations are more than just a convenient solution for keeping devices charged—they represent an opportunity for businesses and public spaces to enhance customer experience, increase dwell time, and generate additional revenue.

In today’s hyper-connected world, the availability of portable power is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Tourists navigating the city, professionals attending conferences, and students balancing work and study all require reliable charging options. By installing PLUGINMOVE’s stations in strategic locations such as shopping centres, transport hubs, and cultural venues, businesses can attract more foot traffic, encourage longer stays, and ultimately drive higher spending.

Moreover, the digital advertising potential of these charging stations offers businesses an innovative way to engage their audiences. Equipped with high-resolution digital screens, the stations double as advertising platforms, allowing partners to promote their services, showcase events, and create targeted marketing campaigns in real time. This added revenue stream enhances business sustainability while offering consumers valuable content during their charging sessions.

Northern Ireland’s Tech Revolution: A Smart City in the Making

Belfast has been steadily advancing toward a Smart City framework, focusing on digital transformation, sustainability, and enhanced public services. PLUGINMOVE aligns perfectly with this vision by bridging the gap between technology and everyday convenience. Furthermore, the introduction of these charging solutions aligns with the city’s ambitions to strengthen tourism. With thousands of visitors arriving via cruise ships, airports, and major events, offering accessible charging options in key locations ensures that tourists can navigate Belfast seamlessly, increasing their likelihood of staying longer and spending more. With Lord Mayor Murray’s support, the company’s solutions could soon become a common feature across the city, benefiting both the local economy and the global perception of Belfast as an innovative, future-ready destination.

Beyond Belfast, PLUGINMOVE’s model has the potential to scale across Northern Ireland, transforming cities, transport networks, and entertainment venues into digitally equipped, customer-friendly spaces. The impact is far-reaching—creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and positioning NI as a leader in smart technology adoption.

A Call to Action for Businesses

As PLUGINMOVE continues to grow, its impact on Northern Ireland’s digital and economic landscape becomes increasingly evident. The collaboration between local government, businesses, and tech-driven solutions like PLUGINMOVE sets a strong precedent for how innovation can drive sustainable growth and enhance urban living.

With momentum building, the question now is not if businesses should integrate charging solutions but how quickly they can adapt to meet the evolving demands of their customers.

With the Lord Mayor’s backing, businesses now have an opportunity to be early adopters of a solution that not only meets customer demand but also future proofs their operations. PLUGINMOVE is actively seeking partners across Northern Ireland to install charging stations in high-traffic areas, offering a seamless and mutually beneficial collaboration.

As the city continues to evolve, the message is clear: businesses that invest in connectivity will lead the way in customer experience, engagement, and economic growth. With PLUGINMOVE, Belfast is taking a bold step toward a more connected, digitally inclusive future—one charged device at a time.
