A new Internet video service launched today will focus on innovation in technology and entrepreneurship in Ireland.
Intruders TV Ireland is the latest initiative from County Clare based company Edgecast Media Ltd, winners of the Grand Prix at the Digital Media Awards in Dublin earlier this year.
As a startup in its own right, it's not surprising that Edgecast Media is attracted to the subjects of technology and entrepreneurship. Company founder, Conn O Muineachain notes that, 'the current wave of internet business activity has been called "Web 2.0". The epicentre, as you would expect, is in Silicon Valley, but the impact is worldwide. Internet tools like blogs and social media are fuelling an ideas revolution, and developments in broadband, web and mobile technology are facilitating the growth of small startups in places as diverse as Alaska and West Cork.'
Intruders.TV is itself a global initiative with a local focus. It is a worldwide network of video blogs, each providing an insight to technology and entrepreneurship in their localities. Edgecast Media Ltd holds the Irish franchise for Intruders.TV which already covers UK, France and USA, and is planning to launch in Italy, Spain and Canada by the end of the year.
Edgecast Media plans to work with other Irish companies and organisations to produce content for the Intruders TV platform. The first of these partnerships is with Tipperary Institute. The third-level college is producing a series of company profile interviews recorded at technology business events around the country.
