Ireland is a small agile economy. It benefits from the ability of the Government and policy-makers to adopt and implement policy relatively quickly and to make changes where required. In this environment decision-makers, civil servants and agency management have been able to adopt and increasingly lead international good practice.
As a result Ireland has successfully transitioned from a mainly agricultural economy in the 20th Century to a global centre in the 21st Century. Today Ireland has developed globally renowned clusters in aerospace and aviation, medical devices, ICT, pharmaceuticals, agrifood and tourism. The majority of the world’s top companies in software, ICT, Medical Technology, Pharmaceuticals and Financial Services now call Ireland home.

Our people
Our experts have had careers in Government agencies as managers and senior executives. They have been at the centre of decision-making as our economy has transformed from one based on agriculture on the periphery of Europe to one rooted in knowledge at the heart of the European Union. This knowledge is enhanced by their significant work with local teams in economic development agencies internationally.
They understand organisation structure, program design, staff management, reporting and approval structures. They also understand how the work of an agency links to programs delivered by other arms of government. They can anticipate and plan for road blocks.
