70 jobs to be created by companies backed by ‘middle-man’ digital centre

Seventy jobs are to be created over the next six months by companies supported by the National Digital Research Centre.

Acting as a middle-man between digitally focused entrepreneurial start-ups and the commercial market, the NDRC invests in firms in exchange for minority equity stakes. It then nurtures the venture within its incubation centre in Dublin’s digital hub, readying it for commercial life.

Since its establishment three years ago, 70 ventures have emerged from the NDRC — 64% of which have gone on to attract further follow-on investment.
