Over the past five decades, Ireland has undergone a remarkable transformation propelled by ICT, data-led industries, pharmaceuticals, finance, and life sciences. This evolution has propelled Ireland onto the global stage, enhancing its digital infrastructure and positioning it more strongly than ever before.
Today, Ireland stands as one of the most sought-after business destinations worldwide, as recognized by the Business Environment Ranking of the Economist Intelligence Unit and Forbes. It hosts numerous leading global software and technology firms strategically situated within its borders.
ICT and related services is Ireland's largest export at €172Bn, including the value of the Data exported from its 82 operational data centres. It employs 164,900 and is an enviable base for designers, builders, suppliers and operators to the global DC sector.
Decarbonisation and digitalisation are inextricably linked to achieve a sustainable future. Smart transport, smart buildings, smart agriculture, smart grids, and more are all working together to optimise energy usage and facilitate the transition to a sustainable society.
The work-from-home culture is not going away anytime soon and will require more digital infrastructure support as the tools evolve and grow to meet this demand. With these societal drivers firmly in place the need for talent and digital infrastructure expertise has never been greater nor in such short supply.
This event will bring together all of the key stakeholders responsible for delivering growth in providing sustainable, secure, and efficient data centres in and particularly from Ireland.
