Following up from a post from Brendan Hughes and some conversation on Twitter. I thought I’d try to list out all the Innovation Networks in Ireland. I really didn’t find too many formal networks dedicated to Innovation. I have an informal one of Innovation trainers and IP folks as do many of us.
I must be missing loads though.
Please help out by adding ones I’ve missed.
The LinkedIn ones
Innovation Ireland is pretty new with 487 members already. Pretty Healthy discussions too.
Service Design & Innovation is more focused ( smaller too )
North West Science and Technology partnership is a good regional group.
There are a huge amount of global Innovation groups in LinkedIn.
First Tuesday have a number of smaller networks from their ZIRCOL web.
innovate Network, Big Ideas network, Creative Network Dublin
There is the Construction Enterprise Innovation Network from the IRDG who are looking for members for the Enterprise Innovation Network. The Irish Software Association (ISA) has one but no website apparently.
Help me build this!
From Miriam:
Dublin City Enterprise Board’s LINK! Network for Start-up Businesses to your list. Meets last Tuesday of the month. Check out http://www.dceb.ie for details.
From Siobhan:

From Mitchell
There is a new network for creative industries in Dublin called CreativeD (www.creatived.ie). It’s aim is to help Dublin establish itself as centre of creativity and innovation, and is run in partnership with Dublin City and County Enterprise Boards, Dublin City Council and the Digital Hub.
