About CCI

CCI is hosted at Technological University Dublin is funded by Enterprise Ireland’s Regional Technology Clustering Fund, under Project Ireland 2040.

The construction sector in Ireland is a key contributor to economic growth and employment and currently faces many challenges and opportunities including:

New methods of construction, including modular construction, off-site manufacturing and pre-fabrication
Green technologies, renewable energy targets, retrofit and sustainable practices decreasing the impact of climate change
Supply chain efficiencies addressing industry fragmentation
Skills improvement reducing the impacts of human resources shortages
Innovative technologies transforming the sector, such as BIM and the digitisation of construction
Flattening construction’s discontinuous demand cycles through increased productivity

CCI aims to build capacity among SMEs in the construction sector to ensure they can maintain their competitiveness, internationalise their businesses, and improve their productivity.

What is a cluster?

Clusters are a group of organisations linked by commonalities.

Long term
Change in mindset
Collective power
Evolving critical mass

Clusters are a new business model consisting of a critical mass of interconnected industries, companies, associated institutions and government bodies in a geographic area. The cluster encourages both cooperation and competition in a particular sector, thus boosting productivity (efficiency & value creation) across the entire supply chain.

About The Team

CCI’s governance structure consists of a cluster manager, an industry chair and a steering committee representing the industry, academia and government. The founding steering committee and chair have been selected from influential construction sector players. As the cluster matures, these governing functions will be nominated by and from within the membership.
