St. Patrick's Tower and the Gatelodge building at The Digital Hub.

The Digital Hub is a cluster of technology, digital media and internet companies in The Liberties area of Dublin, Ireland. The hub consists of almost 75 companies located in eight buildings, collectively employing 700 people.[1] It is the largest enterprise cluster of its kind in Ireland.[2]

History

The Irish Government founded The Digital Hub in 2003 to cater for companies involved in information technology, with Media Lab Europe—a business venture by MIT, as its anchor.[3] By 2017, more than 200 companies have (or still are) located there, including Amazon, Etsy, Havok, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Lonely Planet, Eventbrite, Slack, and Stripe.[1][4]

In 2016 Fiach Mac Conghail, former Director of the Abbey Theatre, was appointed CEO of the Digital Hub Development Agency, the state agency which operates and promotes The Digital Hub.[5]
