A new public database aimed at providing a detailed portrait of Ireland’s start-up scene is about to go live. The initiative aims to map, track and showcase innovation across the Republic to give a full overview of the Irish technology ecosystem.

TechIreland’s primary focus is to promote Irish-born companies by developing detailed information on individual firms to a wide audience that includes investors, potential customers and the media.

Information to be collated includes key personnel, employee numbers, target markets, stages of development and amount of funds raised to date.
