Taoiseach to launch €5m technology research centre

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will today launch a new multi-million-euro technology centre aimed at helping small and medium enterprises create jobs through the commercialisation of the centre’s cutting-edge technology.

Mr Kenny will open the €5m Governance, Risk and Compliance Technology Centre (GRCTC) hosted by University College Cork (UCC) and funded by Enterprise Ireland and the IDA.

The centre’s focus is on developing technology with the potential to save financial organisations millions of euro and which will also create jobs for smaller companies that will have the expertise to provide smarter regulatory solutions to larger financial corporations.
