Tech start-ups urged to apply for West Cork hub’s seed funding

The three-day event begins on Thursday at the recently opened Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen, and will include contributions from Ronan Harris, VP of sales Google EMEA and head of Google Ireland; Fred and Geraldine Karlsson, co-founders of DoneDeal; Mark MacGann, senior board advisor at Uber; and Gráinne McCarthy, senior news editor at the Wall Street Journal, among others.

The Ludgate Digital Hub officially opened last July and has already attracted a number of tech companies as well as growing interest from overseas, but the €450,000 Ludgate Seed Capital fund is also open to companies wishing to set up a base there.
