The tech and innovation hub nears full capacity amid confirmation that it will continue to operate for at least another three years
12.05.25
The Digital Hub is nearing full capacity with over 91% occupancy across its buildings as of the end of March 2025. A total of 58 member organisations are now based at The Digital Hub’s campus on Thomas Street, collectively employing more than 600 people.
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. These include:
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 brought an additional 23,000 visitors to The Digital Hub throughout the year. The Hub also hosts two arts collectives operating artists studios and workspaces.
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: “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.”
As part of its ongoing collaborations with other state bodies, The Digital Hub is working with the Land Development Agency (LDA) as the latter oversees plans to use parts of The Digital Hub’s Dublin 8 campus for the development of affordable housing. A masterplan has been drawn up for the area, referred to as Pear Tree Crossing, and the LDA has identified key sites which are now progressing to design and planning phases.
