Tech Life discovers and explains the ways technology is changing our lives, wherever we are in the world. We meet the people with bright ideas for rethinking the way we work, learn and play, and get hands-on with the products they dream up. We hold tech giants to account for their huge power to affect our lives, and ask who wins, and who loses, in the technology transformation. Tech Life is your guide to a future being made, and remade, at lightning speed in front of our eyes.

Ireland - the technology island

BBC World Service - Tech Life, Ireland - the technology island

Rory Cellan-Jones visits two tech events in Ireland and meets the people making the news.

We go inside the F.ounders conference where we talk to John Sculley, former CEO of Apple, Ankur Jain, creator of app Humin, Jess Lee of Polyvore.com, and Yoni Assia of eToro.

The Dublin Web Summit confirms Ireland's tech cluster status. But how much of that is down to favourable tax arrangements for technology companies?

Also, we take you inside the exclusive F.ounders conference at the Old Midleton Distillery, County Cork, where we talk about the latest tech with John Sculley, former CEO of Apple and business author, Ankur Jain, creator of contact management app Humin, Jess Lee of Polyvore.com, and Yoni Assia of financial tech company eToro.
