The aim of Grow Remote is to build a community and ecosystem around remote workers and then to grow it so that we can increase the number of employment opportunities available in local communities. The Grow Remote community consists of co-working managers, freelancers, nomads, remote workers and remote working companies who believe that all 3 i.e. jobs, workers and communities need to move together to enable our communities to thrive.

There are 14,992 skilled workers (Census 2016) leaving the Drogheda / East Meath region every day Building a thriving remote working community in any town or village presents a great opportunity for both economic development and the social landscape of the area.
