About us
The Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen, Co. Cork is located in the periphery of the South West of Ireland, With a 1000MB connection the Ludgate Hub utilizes the digital age for job creation and innovation. The initiative aims facilitate up to 75 people in a creative co-working environment with a long term objective to create 500 direct jobs and 1000 indirect jobs via a sustainable digital economy for Skibbereen and the wider West Cork area. As featured in the case study in the Action Plan for Jobs, South West (2015 – 2017) the Ludgate Hub is cited as an example of innovation occurring in rural Ireland and indeed a blue print for other rural areas. Skibbereen has also been selected as a pilot town for SIRO, and 1GB of connectivity is now rolled out to the Ludgate Hub and town of Skibbereen creating a 1GB community. To date significant private investment has been committed to the construction of the Ludgate Hub, with a board of eleven operating on a pro-bono basis. The board has vocally pushed for acceleration of Skibbereen and West Corks digitisation. Digitisation of rural Ireland is akin to the electrification of Ireland, the influence of the digital economy will be the driving force in balancing the rural economic environment. The Hub which was once a cinema from 1941-1981, then a bakery to the mid 00s was then left unoccupied. Board member John Field made the Bakery Building available towards the initiative, the hub which is in the centre of Skibbereen town is now a beacon of innovation and has already started to encourage fringe enterprises as a spin off. The Ludgate Board is determined to achieve all ambitious goals, ultimately resulting in a return of the diaspora, creating an ecosystem of creativity and innovation, and progressing the facilitation of job growth via digital technology. The long term vision is to make Skibbereen a hotspot for technology start-ups and multinationals to locate and prosper at a global level. www.ludgate.ie

Ludgate Hub reposted this
It was another great day in Ludgate Hub, speaking with the very welcoming people of Skibbereen and surrounds, on finance, funding and areas to watch for in the future, as well as getting a chance to answer some great (and challenging) questions. The roadshow events have been incredibly interesting and Azets Ireland are looking forward to hosting a webinar on corporate finance, funding and EIIS with Skillnet Innovation Exchange in the new year, as well as another stop for the roadshow in GreentechHQ in Enniscorthy.
We were delighted to welcome Skillnet Innovation Exchange, Sinead O'Riordan, Orlaith O'Brien of OBH Partners, Andrew Williamson FCA of Azets Ireland & Éamon Chawke of Briffa - Intellectual Property Lawyers at the Skillnet Innovation Exchange: Scale-Up Roadshow on Wednesday 💬 The insights at this event about Legal, Finance and IP were fantastic and thanks to the Skillnet Innovation Exchange, the speakers and of course the brilliant attendees! Keep an eye out for the next event. #innovation #businessgrowth #businessinnovation #skillnet #backedbyaib #siro #vodafone #enterpriseireland
