In December 2012 the sod turning ceremony for The Mill Enterprise Hub took place. The Mill Enterprise Hub sets out its ambition to become a national leader in delivering effective regional growth and promoting best practice supports for entrepreneurs including mentoring, training in a collaborative and nurturing environment.

The ‘Illuminate’ Boyne Valley/M1 Female Entrepreneurship Programme, delivered by the DCU Ryan Academy, was launched at The Mill Enterprise Hub in October 2015

The ‘sod-turning’ ceremony for Phase 2 was held in January 2016 to mark the commencement of construction of the Phase 2 building at a cost of circa €800,000. This enabled The Mill to build on the success of Phase 1 and meet the strong demand for startup’s and expanding businesses in the south Louth, Drogheda, and East Meath region.

2017 saw the opening of a 750m2 extension of The Mill which was the culmination of a ten-year project that successfully merged the best of public and private support for entrepreneurs. Louth County Council were instrumental in getting the project off the ground, and Louth LEO, Leader, and Enterprise Ireland contributed to start-up costs. Critically, The Mill were supported by Drogheda Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses who contributed circa €350,000 in philanthropic donations to the project.

September 2020, saw the launch of The Fintech Corridor. The Fintech Corridor which was formed by The Mill Enterprise Hub before spinning out was designed to create a Fintech Corridor between the Dublin and Belfast region. The Fintech Corridor was supported by InterTrade Ireland and Louth County Council.

In late 2021, the current Tánaiste and Minister Enterprise Trade & Employment, Leo Varadkar visited The Mill. During his visit he toured the facility and spoke with many of the businesses located here to better understand The Mill and our future plans as well as listening to four companies presenting their exciting business plans for growth in the region.

In early 2022 we introduced the Studio 92 Media Centre at The Mill. The new studio provided users with access to podcast, camera, recording, greenscreen, lighting, sound and photo equipment.

The equipment is used to not only podcast but as a way to create material to generate leads and awareness for businesses at The Mill and for those who hire the venue.

By summer 2022, The Mill’s continued growth saw us break 100 residents located here for the first time in our short history.

In January 2023, PMCA Economic Consulting launched their findings on The Mill Enterprise Hub Economic Impact Report.
