Dublin has a thriving tech scene and the ability to attract and foster growth of women-owned firms. According to the latest Dell Technologies WE Cities Index, Dublin is ranked the 23rd top city in the world that enables businesses founded by women to thrive.
Launched in 2016, the WE Cities Index measures and ranks cities around the world based on their ability to attract and support high-potential women entrepreneurs.
The index:
showcases how technology connects all other aspects of the business environment (markets, capital, talent and culture)
provides recommendations for business owners and officials alike to improve systems from the inside out, and
profiles global centres of commerce by their overall suitability for women who scale
