Construction Cluster Ireland (CCI) is an industry-driven cluster organisation that aims to build capacity amongst SMEs in the construction and built environment sector to ensure they can maintain their competitiveness, internationalise their businesses, and improve their productivity.

CCI creates a brokerage space and acts as a catalyst to:

Build resilience and capacity amongst SMEs
Collectively address the common challenges and identify opportunities
Link with construction businesses and prospects internationally
Connect the ecosystem to benefit all members

Increase the competitiveness of cluster firms
Collectively address opportunities and roadblocks
Improve access to knowledge, talent, market, research and innovation
Assist in securing finance through improved access to funding supports
Build alignment around common agendas

The construction sector is undergoing a significant transformation driven by forces such as digital technology, climate change, globalisation and market uncertainty.

It is essential that all construction companies, regardless of size, are supported to maximise the benefits and opportunities of this transformation. A resilient, productive and innovative construction sector is vital to delivering national economic priorities, which can be achieved by increasing collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the industry.

CCI will play a key role in promoting and encouraging co-opetition* amongst construction firms through supported partner matching and development planning.
