Dublin Tech Hub & Digitalisation

Description

We discuss Dublin as European hub for tech, US companies and the impact of digitalisation including the benefits and pitfalls of working remotely. We’ll cover the aspects behind “Celtic Irishness”, such as mythology, St Patrick’s day, sayings & humour and much more. We’ll learn the story of the Irish famine, and the emigration that shaped the Irish diaspora around the world. We’ll see how the “Irish pub” and its catching music became synony-mous with Irish friendliness. Lastly, we’ll discover the truth of ancient Irish sports and our love for dogs & horses.
