## About

Guinness Enterprise Centre, known as the GEC, is a not-for-profit start-up campus on Taylor's Lane in the Liberties, Dublin 8, in the historic Guinness quarter. Open since 2001 and enlarged in a 2019 expansion, it covers about 8,826 m² with space for 750 people, and it calls itself Ireland's largest start-up campus. Founders and growing companies rent compact, standard or large own-door offices with 24/7 swipe access and manned security. Solo founders and small teams can join the co-working floor, zoned into quiet work areas, a brainstorming corner, a meeting area and a tea and coffee point; plans run from ten days a month to a dedicated desk, and day passes are sold as well. Meetings and events for 2 to 110 people use three conference rooms, a workshop lab and a smaller meeting room, with AV, on-site catering and an events lead. An on-site restaurant, showers, phone booths, a business address and start-up supports and events from its managing partner Furthr complete the offer.
