Our Programmes for localities and their small businesses
In the 20th century powerful physical technologies, such as aircraft, rail and radio, empowered travel, communications and broadcasting underpinning growth and prosperity. In the 21st century powerful virtual technologies such as cloud computing, AI and quantum computing will shape our lives in ways that we are only starting to imagine. At the Dargan Institute our objective is to help ensure that these powerful virtual technologies are put to the service of people and places.

At the Dargan Institute we believe that meaning in work and belonging in place will be the glue and differentiator for localities in the 21st century.
Our Research
Our years of research publications examine and mobilise ways to help shape vibrant, sustainable localities with thriving business communities.
The Dargan Forum is Europe's boutique conference on the intersection between technology & social innovation. The Dargan Forum first took place in 2023 in the wake of the launch of Chat GPT, the visible manifestation of the ever increasing pervasiveness of technology at a time when many are already under pressure to cope and adapt to constant change. The Dargan Forum is supported by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and brings together speakers and experts to share insights on how technology can be harnessed for the benefit of localities, small businesses and communities across Ireland.
