It's fantastic to see John Larkin from The Black Stuff, located here in Sandyford Business District, thriving. We purchased several of their gift packs to present to the foreign delegates who spoke at our Innovation Summit last month, and they were a huge hit! Ger Corbett Vincent M.

I had the privilege of attending the Innovation Summit 2024 Event at the Sandyford Business District which aims at Shaping the Future of Sandyford Business District. A huge congratulations to Ger Corbett and the incredible team at Sandyford Business District for hosting a truly inspiring Innovation Summit 2024! 👏 The event centered on a bold and a very impressive visionary goal: transforming Sandyford Business District into one of the world’s leading premium business parks—on par with global Business Parks. What truly sets this vision apart is its holistic approach. It’s not just about business growth—it’s about building a thriving community. Plans include developing residential buildings to provide employees with not just a workplace, but a place to call home. This forward-thinking development aims to expand the district’s workforce from 28,000 to over 48,000+ by 2028, creating a sustainable ecosystem where businesses, employees, and families can flourish together. A standout moment from the event was Day 2’s impressive and innovative venue at Explorium Sandyford, which embodied the spirit of the summit. Another exciting initiative announced was the plan to establish an Innovation Centre within Sandyford Business District—a dynamic hub for connecting with innovation, discussing ideas, and fostering ground-breaking collaborations.   Sessions focused on four core themes—circularity, digitisation, mobility, and social innovation. Sustainability and community-building remain at the heart of this initiative, ensuring that growth benefits not just the economy, but also the environment and the people who live and work here. Kudos to the team for driving innovation and setting a benchmark for what a business district can truly achieve!
