Feasibility Study - Innovation Space South Dublin

Feasibility 1

Link to Report:  Feasibility Study for the Development of Innovation Space in South Dublin

Overview

  • The county of South Dublin has ambitious plans to become one of the leading locations in Ireland for innovative, technology-rich firms. However, in many ways, South Dublin is overshadowed by Dublin City, which dominates both the start-up and broader innovation landscape of Ireland. Although a relatively strong performer in Irish terms economically, South Dublin lags behind Dublin City on many economic indicators.
  • The purpose of the study was to consider what South Dublin could do to redress this, by exploring how the development of new, additional innovation centre space could help to: a) retain more innovative businesses in the local area and prevent them from relocating elsewhere; b) attract more innovative businesses to the area, including inward investors, and; c) foster an entrepreneurial culture and ‘mind-set’ in South Dublin, increasing the number of start-ups, and thereby increasing high quality job opportunities in the County.
