description Dingle Hub operates in a facilitating role between different actors, organisations and community representatives, leading work locally and linking such work to external partners within the realm of sustainability transitions. Within this, there are both historical and ongoing collaborations across a range of sectors such as agriculture, tourism, transport, and energy which highlight the novel approach to regional development which is pursued through the Hub. The flowering of wider action emerging through Dingle Hub's ongoing collaborations has previously been termed the diffusion of sustainability. Due to local and wider impact, there has been a great interest in Dingle Hub's model from a range of different stakeholders concerned with sustainability transitions. A common question is often asked: “How can we do this elsewhere?”. Within this short communication we introduce the concept of “Scaling Deep” as central to the continued success and further development of Dingle Hub and its collaborative endeavours.
