Galway Bay fm newsroom – Ten remote working hubs in Galway have joined Ireland’s first ever digital hub network.
Minister Heather Humphreys has this afternoon launched the ‘Connected Hubs Network’, which will see over 100 hubs connected nationwide by the end of this year.
It aims to allow people working remotely to have the choice of working from a nationally connected hub in their area as well as working from home, or from the office.
The new ConnectedHubs.ie platform is now live and available hubs can be viewed via an online map.
In Galway City, there are four hubs which are part of the new network – Galway Technology Centre, Westside Resource Centre, GMIT iHub and Portershed at Eyre Square.

Galway Technology Centre, which provides office space for growing companies, is to expand in a move that it claims could lead to a sharp rise in jobs for the region.
The centre, which was established in 1994 as a social enterprise in the wake of the closure of Digital Equipment Corporation, is to embark on a 22,000sq ft (2,043sq m) expansion that will see the total floor area extend to 72,000sq ft (6,689sq m) and with the number of floors in the facility growing from two to four.
