Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

The objectives of the digital hub are to create a state-of-the-art infrastructure to cluster leading edge Irish and international digital media companies in a core development located in and around Thomas Street, Dublin 8, facilitate new connections between the creative, technological, research and development, educational and community sectors for collaboration and value added outputs, design and deliver a sustainable, vibrant and inclusive living and working environment – to benefit the local and enterprise communities – in the core development and to deliver the project through public sector investment, public private partnership developments and community participation. How then is this to be achieved? The strategy is to establish a vibrant base of digital media enterprise and entrepreneurship with Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, MediaLab Europe and third level institutions, provide dynamic and accessible pathways through learning into enterprise and employment with local and national education providers and to provide new infrastructure, with Dublin City Council, in the core development to enhance the existing environment and heritage of the Liberties-Coombe area.
