5 Cork s Assets and Capacity to Accommodate Data Centres Cork is the primary economic Engine and Driver of Growth in the Southern Region providing the basis for a complementary role with Dublin at a National Level. Ireland s second most populous City and Metropolitan area (c.305,000 people). County Cork planned to increase population by at least 227,000 up to 2040 bringing the total population over 770,000. Highly productive economy contributing 19% to National GDP with capacity for inward investment and indigenous industry growth across the whole of Cork, with a focus on the Metropolitan area (e.g. agri tech, bio pharma, healthcare, education, research, international business services, tourism, renewable energy). Cork Airport is Ireland s second largest airport. Port of Cork is a Tier 1 Port, handling 19% of all seaborne trade in the State.

6 Cork s Assets and Capacity to Accommodate Data Centres Significant water services, roads and public transport infrastructure in place or planned (M28, M20, Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy). Significant Housing Initiatives- 9 Housing Urban Expansion Areas including a Strategic Development Zone with potential to deliver at least 22,000 houses in Metropolitan Cork). Provides c.13% of Ireland s onshore wind energy and supplies c.24% of national energy requirements, Cork is unconstrained by energy supply. The significant renewable energy potential is a key asset in terms of low carbon transition. Development of international energy interconnection infrastructure with the Celtic Interconnector project between Ireland and France. Cork has the lowest latency connection to the US of any European Country and the lowest latency connection to London from Ireland. (7.47ms versus 10 11ms for Dublin). This international digital connectivity via the Hibernia Express cable is highly attractive to a range of data centric sectors such as financial services, data management and cyber security. This provides SME s and FDI companies in Cork and the Southern Region with a competitive advantage in terms of speed, bandwidth capacity and price.

8 Cork s Assets and Capacity to Accommodate Data Centres Cork s main cluster strengths are in pharmaceuticals & healthcare, computers & technology (including a strong emerging cyber security cluster) and business & international financial services. These have grown from the large number of globally prominent businesses based in Cork which also make it stand out nationally and internationally. In the last decade the companies at the core of these clusters have seen significant growth, particularly in higher value sectors and have the potential to be the primary growth drivers of Cork s economy over the long term.
