With 56% of the labour force in the area comprising professional, managerial and technical workers, Dun Laoghaire is an ideal location for a digital cluster.

There are over 70 digital companies in the area and there is confidence in this initiative.” - Source - https://www.techcentral.ie/action-plan-transform-dun-laoghaire-digital-cluster/
