It’s all location, location, location with startups. Tech Ireland has mapped the locations of 1,200 startups and startup clusters around Dublin city and county.
The interactive map also links directly back to individual startup profiles on TechIreland’s live database. The aim of the map is to help startups, multinationals and the Irish government to better understand location challenges and opportunities, as well as other issues around density, funding and startup dynamics in and around Dublin.
The interactive map goes live on the Tech Ireland website on Tuesday, 4 December. You can find out more at techireland.org.
