The Guinness Enterprise Centre:
In November 2024, the highly anticipated EBN Techcamp will take place in the Guinness Enterprise Centre. The Guinness Enterprise Centre is Ireland’s largest innovation hub for start-ups and scaling companies. Where they play host to a community of creators, leaders and entrepreneurs.
Uniquely placed in the heart of the Liberties, Dublin 8 - a traditional neighborhood that has been a thriving centre for enterprise & innovation for centuries. Once home to the world’s largest brewery and the world’s biggest whiskey distillery, the area has seen a dramatic revival of investment and interest recently and is now a hub of diversity, enterprise and entertainment.
Adjacent to the cobbles and the Guinness Storehouse stands Ireland’s home for Entrepreneurs - The Guinness Enterprise Centre. Spanning an impressive 95,000 square foot across five floors, this dynamic space hosts a thriving community of 150 companies.
The Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) managed by Furthr has a clear mission to empower entrepreneurs to start and scale. The GEC is at the heart of the community of exceptionally talented and ambitious founders. Accommodating budding first-time entrepreneurs to late-stage tech companies like Black Shamrock, Benetel, Food Marble and Wellola to name just a few.
The GEC accommodates a diverse range of talent, partnerships, fostering innovation and collaboration at every turn. The GEC team eagerly anticipates the arrival of EBN Techcamp attendees.
As we come together to transform, innovate, and accelerate, the GEC look forward to welcoming you this November with “céad míle fáilte” - one hundred thousand welcomes!
