Why the Sunny South East is the best for Tech firms to invest in!

👋  Welcome back, my fellow weapons. 

I hope you all are having a great week, and whatever you’re up to, keep slaying! As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m in university in the southeast of Ireland. I moved two hours from my home village, and it’s been my greatest decision.

This week we will investigate why so many tech firms are looking to set up in the Sunny South East. (SSE)

Why is the South East the place to be?

The south east, in my opinion, is the up and coming of Ireland since the colleges merge together to create a multi-campus university hosting diversity courses in a range of areas. The SSE also has gateways of support to help businesses and start-ups in a multitude of ways. The two that could benefit tech firms are:

1. Design+ develops and formulates fresh concepts and products in a very innovative way, utilising the wide range of technical, business, and marketing know-how that is available.
2. Walton Institute, which has a broad range of information and communications technologies (ICT) research that is supported by industry, especially in regards to technologies that enable communications and information services.

These gateways make the South East a tech hotspot along with.

1. The ICT cluster of Ireland that’s primarily based in the SSE.
2. 
   Better Wearing: Known to be slightly better, which means you will need it.
3. Proximity to Dublin: Dublin is 1.50 hours away, which isn’t bad since if you lived closer to Dublin, it would take as long with traffic. 
4. Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) wind D-MAP was released in January, and the SSE could be the future of ORE, which aligns with needed new innovative tech firms to back the industry. Dare I say an opening in the market? 🤔 
   

With great infrastructure, two ports, an airport getting a facelift, and also a lot of investment already being generated in the area. The SSE is the place to be and invest in it sooner rather than later because you can feel the buzz coming back for business and entrepreneurship. 

As always, my struggling academic weapons, you’re all great! Till next week.😁
