Dublin is ideal for the rich pool of talent, with significant technology literacy: people who have extensive experience either selling similar solutions, or – equally importantly – selling to similar types of customers.

A good example is Munster Technological University: they have what I would describe as the leading programme in cybersecurity in Ireland, hands down.
