We're looking for research institutions, training bodies, startups, and innovation companies that want a collaborative partner or a physical base in rural Ireland. We have land and a concept. You bring the expertise. We build it together.
We bring hands-on experience in AI mentoring, incubator programmes, and corporate innovation — combined with land in an ecologically and archaeologically significant region. We're building a hub where research has a real-world home.
If you're a startup or innovation company thinking about an EU presence — or a more resilient base — Ireland is worth a serious look. A rural hub gives you access to support programmes that urban locations don't.
Full single-market membership and the only English-speaking country in the EU. Direct access to 450 million consumers.
12.5% corporate tax. 25% R&D tax credit. Knowledge Development Box at 6.25% on qualifying IP. Enterprise Ireland grants for companies establishing here.
Temperate maritime climate. No extreme weather. Abundant renewables. Water security. Increasingly relevant to companies planning ahead.
One of Europe's youngest, most educated populations. Strong universities. A deep well of technical and scientific graduates.
Dromod mainline rail to Dublin in under 2 hours. M4/N4 motorway corridor. Three airports within 2 hours: Dublin, Knock, and Shannon — all with transatlantic routes.
Lower costs than Dublin or Cork. A rural address unlocks community-rate EU and national grant programmes not available to urban applicants.
Growing public investment in AI and technology upskilling — particularly in underserved rural areas. A hub that delivers training is well-positioned for this funding.
We don't have a rigid partnership structure. Here are some building blocks — combine them however works for your organisation.
Workspace, meeting rooms, and a registered Irish address. For startups establishing an EU presence or researchers needing a field base.
Joint applications for Enterprise Ireland, Horizon Europe, or national research funding. We bring the site, the hub concept, and the community structure.
Co-develop and deliver AI and technology upskilling programmes. We provide the venue and the community reach. You provide the curriculum and expertise.
Agricultural land and peatland available for field trials, pilot projects, or ecological research in a region of significant natural and archaeological heritage.
We're actively looking for the right partners. If any of this resonates — even loosely — start a conversation.
