Over 20,000 people from around the world arrived in Dublin this week to attend the Web Summit 2014. The international conference attracted some of the brightest web entrepreneurs, including representatives from fledgling start-ups to well-established leaders in technology.

The three-day event hosted more than 100 of the world’s top tech chief executives, 700 investors and more than 2,000 start-ups. Between them, they booked 13,000 hotel rooms and guest homes and occupied 87 venues across Dublin city. This year featured speakers from Google, Amazon, Cisco, Twitter and Apple, among others and high-profile guests included U2 frontman Bono, Hollywood actress Eva Longoria, supermodel Lily Cole and footballer Rio Ferdinand.

The event has grown significantly in scale and attendance since the inaugural edition in 2010. The then-named Dublin Web Summit was first held in October 2010 and hosted 500 guests. The event has sky-rocketed in stature in just four years and is now a firm feature on the calendar for leading international IT professionals to network, learn and develop their own business ideas.

The global event was held in the Irish capital for three days between November 4th-6th across venues at the RDS, Ballsbridge and various other locations across the city.

Technology and computer skills are essential assets for all workers. Even if the career you choose does not focus solely on computers, the job you do will most likely require the use of computers and technology to accomplish tasks and process information.

There are now over 5,000 technology companies located in Ireland, ranging from start-ups and SMEs, to large international and multinational companies, with an ever-growing number of Irish owned multinationals.


According to The Expert Group on Future Skills Needs, Ireland is facing an average 5% a year increase in demand for ICT skills up to the year 2018. This means that the number of ICT professionals will rise to over 91,000 in Ireland alone. Across Europe (the EU 27), the conservative projected shortage for ICT professionals by 2015 is 372,000, and potentially as high as 864,000.

This wave of ICT innovation is driving demand for new ICT skills and abilities. The ICT sector needs people who can design, develop and deploy new applications and services. It also needs people with new combinations of skills, for example, Big Data requires a combination of skills, such as technology, statistics and business skills; Social Media needs a combination of technology and marketing skills.
