Connected Hubs to Host a National Showcase Promoting the Benefits of Hub Working in Ireland
On Wednesday, 26 April hubs across the country will open their doors for a national Connected Hubs Showcase Day.
Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys will officially launch the series of open day initiatives with a visit to the Creative Spark Downtown Hub in Dundalk in County Louth. The hub will host an event focussed on town regeneration, hub users and their experience of returning to the area and working from the hub.
On the day hubs across the Connected Hubs network will display the incredible variety and regional diversity with a focus on promoting why their hub and locality are great places for remote workers. This open day is taking place in support of the Government’s national campaign promoting Remote Work and is likely to become an annual event in the Connected Hubs calendar.
Connected Hubs is a flagship initiative led by Minister Humphreys and the Department of Rural and Community Development and implemented by the Western Development Commission. The initiative will connect and deepen the remote working infrastructure across rural Ireland.
The network now has 315 hubs across the country registered on its online platform. One of the aims of the Connected Hubs initiative is to create a shared platform and brand and to raise awareness of hubs, the services they offer and the opportunities to relocate to, or establish a business from anywhere in Ireland, as well as developing and raising awareness of hubs as convenient and professional distributed workplaces.
