About Cnaipe
Cnaipe is the Irish word for button, derived from the Viking word knepper. The Vikings brought buttons to the Celts when they started trading in the 7th Century.
This embodies what Cnaipe is all about. When we share ideas and innovation everyone benefits.
Cnaipe facilitates that connection to help cultural organisations utilise technology, not for technology’s own sake, but because it enhances the organisation's mission.
