The Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar TD and Provost, Dr Patrick Prendergast announced plans for a new Trinity campus at Grand Canal Quay and the establishment of an innovation district for Dublin on 12 July 2018. The proposal from Trinity is modelled on innovation districts in cities such as Boston, Toronto, Rotterdam and Barcelona. It will significantly strengthen Ireland’s competitive advantage when developing new indigenous companies or competing for foreign direct investment. A memorandum of understanding has been agreed between Dublin’s universities and a special government-led advisory group established which is aimed at developing the new district which will include the proposed development of a new €1 billion Trinity campus at Grand Canal Quay. http://www.tcd.ie/innovation-district/ http://www.tcd.ie/
