Apart from attracting more companies to this country, the digital hub will also act as a learning and training component especially geared towards the local community. Nowhere will that learning and training component be more obvious than in the benefits the digital hub will bring to the MediaLab to which the Minister referred. This is a joint venture between the Government and the internationally renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT. MediaLab is a university level research and education centre which has been running since July 2000. This is the first time that MIT has collaborated to establish an independent centre away from its Cambridge, Massachusetts home. That is something we should not take lightly. MIT is a renowned operation throughout the world and for Ireland to be the first place in which it established a base outside its home is something which gives us phenomenal credibility going forward and of which we should take note.
