In the 1990s and early 2000s Ireland achieved significant economic growth that has been characterised by rising high-tech exports and knowledge-based employment. However, as this growth was driven primarily by the presence of foreign-owned multinational corporations in high-tech sectors, its sustainability has always remained a basis for debate. In the current state of economic instability, an understanding of industrial change and the technological capabilities that underscore the Irish economy at present is essential. In a comprehensive search for information on business enterprises and industrial change in Ireland we found a serious lack of reliable and complete enterprise-level data required to investigate these issues. In an attempt to overcome such limitations we constructed a new database populated with company and product-related data which allows for a deeper understanding of technological change and industrial development in Ireland. The new database consists of up-to-date business demographics for key technology-based clusters in Ireland. The finely granulated, product-based classification system of the database allows for the examination of technological activities, the specification of technology-related clusters and most importantly, emerging technologies and technology management capabilities. The database represents a systematic approach to identify key industrial clusters that are creating a competitive position for Ireland.
