Sandyford Business District – Driving Ireland’s Digital Leadership in Europe
What role can Sandyford Business District play in Ireland’s digital future and in Europe’s drive for greater competitiveness and innovation?
In a recent article in The Dublin Economic Monitor, Paul Kennedy, Director of Planning and Economic Development Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council explores exactly that. Highlighting Sandyford Business District’s unique position at the intersection of multinational technology, indigenous enterprise, innovation and talent.
With more than 1,000 companies and 26,000 people working across the district, the area is home to major global technology companies alongside a diverse and growing community of Irish businesses and SMEs.
But the opportunity goes beyond the scale of the district.
As Europe looks to strengthen its digital capabilities and reduce its dependence on overseas technology, we have an opportunity to build stronger connections between multinational companies, entrepreneurs, SMEs and our research and education institutions.
Our proposed Sandyford Innovation Campus is part of that vision, creating a place where businesses can start, scale, collaborate and innovate.
Sandyford Business District has continually evolved, from farmland, to industrial estate, to business park and now one of Ireland’s leading technology and innovation locations. The next chapter could be even more significant.
As Ireland takes on a leadership role in Europe, Sandyford Business District has an opportunity to help demonstrate what a connected, sustainable and innovation-led business district can deliver.
A fascinating read from Paul Kennedy on why the district can play a role in shaping Ireland’s and Europe’s digital future.
