Small Business Q&A: Denis Collins, chairman of the IT@Cork Tech Cluster

Recently, the cluster started a new initiative called Adopt-a-School and Kehlan talked with Denis about what it aims to do.

* Firstly, what is the IT@Cork Tech Cluster?

Well, IT@Cork Tech Cluster is a combination of more than 300 businesses that drives over €300bn globally in revenue and over €2bn in Ireland. It is a vision in which we aim to integrate public sector, academia, and business to drive a number of different branches. Of those branches, our two main aims would be social and commercial. So, driving commercial ideas and investment means business and jobs, while our social aspect means developing with communities and providing solutions on a societal level. As part of that, we have the Adopt-a-School initiative which will be part of that societal strand of what we’re aiming to do.
