• Over 46,000 sq. ft. of office space leased in 2024 to new and existing member companies.
• Heightened demand for multipurpose event and creative spaces as increased bookings brings almost 23,000 additional visitors last year.
• Operations to continue at Dublin 8 campus until at least the end of 2027.
• Eleven new businesses and organisations joined in the last year bringing the total of member organisations to 58.

Eleven new members joined the campus, while eight existing members expanded their offices during 2024.  Since January 2025 one further member joined The Digital Hub. Collectively, member businesses are now leasing over 46,735 sq. ft. of office space out of a total 51,656 available, an increase of 187% from Q1 2022 when just over 16,000 sq. ft. of office space was in use.  More new members are expected to sign leases and move into The Digital Hub during the second quarter of this year.

Among the companies and organisations that joined The Digital Hub in 2024 and 2025 are:

Tyro Schools, a student information and timetabling platform which secured investment of €2.1m last year.

Curious Dog Films, whose production of ‘Born That Way’ won the Best Irish Documentary award at the Dublin International Film Festival 2025.

Brokentalkers, one of Ireland’s most innovative and original theatre companies with a reputation at home and abroad for making work that defies categorisation.

Change Clothes, an award-winning community-based clothing reuse hub.

These new members have now joined established Irish businesses such as Akara Robotics, which has successfully trialled decontamination robots in an NHS hospital and most recently signed a contract with its first US customer, Neuromod Devices, which recently closed a €10m equity financing to accelerate the availability of its tinnitus treatment device, and PatientMPower, which recently announced a partnership with FibriCheck, a medically certified app, to help transform the management of cardiovascular conditions.

In 2024, The Digital Hub’s 7,500 square feet of multipurpose spaces including The Bank, iD8 Studio, Bay 1, Studio 2 and space in the Grainstore building were in high demand for a variety of events, including mentoring, local festivals, training days, and meetings with over 1,300 days in the calendar year booked across all five locations. Activity in these spaces resulted in €120,000 extra revenue and an additional 23,000 visitors attending The Digital Hub throughout the year.

The growth in activity across multipurpose spaces and member company activity comes at a time when the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications has confirmed that The Digital Hub will remain in operation until at least 2027, following the 2021 Government decision to dissolve the agency and transfer lands for the development of affordable housing to the Land Development Agency (LDA).

Commenting on the latest rise in activity, Fiach Mac Conghail, CEO of the Digital Hub Development Agency said:

“It is encouraging to see an increase in member companies joining The Digital Hub over the last year, availing of our high-quality workspaces and adding to the vibrancy and diversity of our dynamic, innovative and supportive business campus. In 2024, we almost reached full occupancy in terms of our available office space, and we also experienced record demand for our multipurpose spaces, which are used by businesses, academia, public bodies and community groups for meetings, events, and classes and increasingly by Ireland’s major theatre companies for rehearsals and performances."

“I am pleased to say The Digital Hub is thriving and even more so given it has now been confirmed that we will remain in operation until at least the end of 2027. We play an important role in fostering creative digital and creative enterprises and in supporting the local Dublin 8 community, especially through the delivery of a wide range of initiatives and education programmes as well as cultural events and activities."

He added:

“In addition to our day-to-day activities, we are continuing to work closely with the Land Development Agency (LDA) to facilitate the transfer of land on our campus for the delivery of affordable and social housing. We are liaising with the LDA and Dublin City Council on the future regeneration of parts of Dublin 8. The Digital Hub significantly expanded its community engagement in 2024. Nearly 1,000 local residents participated in its educational and creative programmes throughout the year. Four new programmes were piloted in 2024, designed to inspire curiosity and build 21st-century skills among young learners."
