Killarney Innovation Centre has become the latest member of the Gigabit Hub initiative which is a collaboration between SIRO and Vodafone to deliver world-class connectivity to digital hubs nationwide.
The centre officially joined up at a formal launch event undertaken by Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley, along with representatives from SIRO, Vodafone and the Killarney Innovation Centre.
The connectivity partnership is set to accelerate innovation and business growth in the Kerry region by providing the centre’s dynamic community of more than 20 companies with access to cutting-edge gigabit full-fibre broadband.
Since its establishment in the late 1990s, the Killarney Innovation Centre has been a cornerstone of Munster’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Housing a diverse array of companies – ranging from financial treasury solutions and software development to health and safety consultancy – it has become a pivotal hub for collaboration, knowledge-sharing and innovation in the area.
Over the past two decades, more than 120 businesses have found a home within its walls, collectively creating thousands of jobs, stimulating local supply chains and significantly contributing to the local economy.
By joining the Gigabit Hub initiative, the centre will now provide its residents with access to Gigabit full fibre broadband, ensuring they have the state-of-the-art connectivity needed to excel in today’s digital economy.
As a not-for-profit organisation, the Killarney Innovation Centre has consistently offered a nurturing environment for start-ups, SMEs and established businesses. With high-quality facilities, including flexible office spaces, co-working areas and modern meeting rooms, it has played a crucial role in driving economic development and job creation in the region.
Killarney Innovation Centre board chairman, Sean Counihan, remarked: “This significant upgrade empowers our businesses with world-class connectivity, driving innovation and growth in the heart of Killarney and the Kerry region.”
