Is Southeast of Ireland a good place for a tech firm to invest in ?

 Hi, welcome back. 

 

I hoped you enjoyed reading my first blog where I introduced myself, if you have not read much such to go back and read it now before continuing this one. Today I am going to be discussing is the South East of Ireland a good place to for a tech firm to invest in?  



 

Well before I further into this just think to yourself do you think it is a good place to invest in? What is the infrastructure like? Is there available connects to Europe? Are there easily accessible connections to post graduate students?   

 

  1. 1. Infrastructure  

The Southeast of Ireland is a prime location to locate for a tech firm due to improved infrastructure such as Rosslare Euro Port, Waterford Airport, new road to bypass New Ross creating a better road to connect with south of Ireland.  

 

  1. 2. Close proximity to Dublin  

With the Southeast being in such close proximity to Dublin, employees of these tech firms have a lower cost of living but still have the opportunity to connect with other tech firms and clients in Dublin. Below is a list of some counties rent prices from Statista from Q2 2024. Full list available at https://www.statista.com/statistics/1415962/average-residential-rent-ireland/#:~:text=In%20the%20second%20quarter%20of,of%202%2C042%20euros%20per%20month. 




  1. 3. Available connects to SETU 

SETU is South East Technological University with campuses in Waterford, Wexford and Carlow in which the tech firms can work with to provide undergraduate and postgraduate programs. This will help boost their recognition in the location and help them fill jobs with the best candidates. You can have a look at what is available at SETU on their website which is available here https://www.setu.ie/.  

 

I hope you enjoyed this week's blog and do not forget to come back next week where I will be discussing ‘The Rise of Digital Payment Systems’.

Cybersecurity for Small Businesses:

  Hello and welcome to my final blog of the series, I hope you have enjoyed reading them as much as I have enjoyed researching and writing about each topic. My final topic is Cybersecurity for Small Businesses.   Cybersecurity for Small Businesses is just as important in today’s world as it is for larger companies. This is because smaller businesses are becoming increasingly targeted by cyber-attacks. With smaller businesses having less cyber security it can cause substantial damage to them financially as well as damage their reputation.  In order for small businesses to safeguard their business it is important for them to use strong passwords and to use multi-factor authentication where possible to illuminate the likely hood of a cyber-attack happening to them. Also to make sure that there software and antivirus tools are always kept up to date this can be done by installing a firewall protection.  Another way small businesses can protect their business is to train ...

SEO for Small Businesses How to Compete with Big Brands Online

  Hello and welcome back to my second last blog of this series. This week's topic is SEO for Small Businesses: How to Compete with Big Brands Online.     A SEO is a search engine optimisation that is a process used to improve traffic to a website using key words and clues to help searchers find what they are looking for. It is hard for small businesses to compete with larger brands online a s they pay for their brand to appear at the top in searches. S ome ways I think are good strategies for smaller businesses to use to optimise their SEO are:   Local keywords   The use of local terms (i.e. Wexford town) will make a smaller brand stand out .  This becomes an a dvantage for smaller brands as when people are searching for something in their area, they will rank higher in a search than the bigger brands as it is more relevant to what was searched. This creates a niche market and gets customers closer to what they are looking for.    Impro...

Introduction – I am..

Hi, my name is Molly, I am currently in my final year of my four-year degree in SETU Waterford studying marketing. After completing my second year at SETU I graduated with a Higher Certificate in Business Studies, having completed this I decided to add on another two years, and I hope next year graduate with an Honours Degree in Business Studies after specialising in Marketing.     Also, I have a part time job in the retail sector at the weekends, which I love.  During the last semester in college, we undertook work placement I decided to go in the direction of teaching, so I did 12 weeks in a secondary school in which I discovered very quickly that it was not for me. Having completed this I learnt a lot about myself as going there I was very adamant that teaching was the career I wanted, in fact I was very wrong. I am still very glad I did it and now know that I need to reevaluate my future .   I have started this blog as I am going to be posting a series ...
