Niamh Bushnell’s TechIreland initiative was launched last night, with the mission of becoming the definitive source of data and insights on Irish innovation globally.
TechIreland has major top level support across industry and Government, from Paddy Flynn, the head of Google Ireland’s startup programme and CTO of Cartrawler and angel investor, Bobby Healy, to Irish venture capitalist Elaine Coughlan, and Joe Healy, Head of Enterprise Ireland’s high potential startup unit.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
