The Belfast-Dublin route as an innovative hub for startups, technology, and research development
This corridor connects two of Ireland's largest cities - Belfast and Dublin. At the same time, it has become a place for investment and innovation and a thriving economic centre. It is characterized by excellent infrastructure and innovation hubs along its route.
Examples of these are the Mill Enterprise Hub (co-working space for start-ups in Drogheda), the Regional Development Center (Dundalk Institute of Technology) and Netwell CASALA (better quality of life and well-being for the elderly).
