Digital & Creative Technologies

Derry is one of Ireland’s most vibrant digital clusters outside Belfast and Dublin. Ulster University, Northwest Regional College and Letterkenny Institute of Technology are but just a few of our collaborative partners that can assist in innovating future solutions.  Home to  global brands such as Fujitsu, Kainos and Allstate, global leaders rub shoulders and do business with fast-growing local companies and start-ups. Companies located here find significant cost advantages compared to the rest of Ireland, UK and Western Europe. This combined with an affordable cost of living and high quality of life makes the case for investment clear and compelling.
