Trinity Technology & Enterprise Campus

What is the Trinity Technology & Enterprise Campus?

The government looks set to grant €150m towards a new €1.1bn ‘innovation district’ attached to Trinity Technology & Enterprise Campus. The new district, which will be located close to Facebook, Google and other high-growth tech multinational firms, aims to replicate the business-friendly campuses of California, London and Paris by co-locating research facilities, startups and international companies in close proximity. The Trinity curriculum is not just about imparting knowledge; it’s aimed at developing the critical faculties of the mind through freedom of expression, willingness to engage in debate and original research. Solid academic and pastoral support is provided to the students in the University.

The remainder of the €1.1bn in cash needed to develop the five-acre site at the Grand Canal end of Pearse Street will come from a mixture of industry, philanthropy and borrowing on the college’s part. Last year, TCD embarked on a long term €400m fundraising plan, the largest Irish philanthropy drive on record.

Trinity’s new campus will help support Ireland’s indigenous start-ups, drive inward research and industry funding and will help to ensure that Ireland stays ahead of technological advances from AI to robotics.
