Startup Ireland 3.44

Startup Ireland is the independent, not-for-profit, representative body for Ireland’s startup sector. By startup we mean high impact businesses that have the potential to grow rapidly internationally thereby creating significant jobs and innovation in Ireland. As a member of the international Startup Nations network our focus is on those systemic, framework conditions at the strategic level.

Our mission (captured in our Vision2020 strategy) is to help build a world class startup ecosystem in our country by making Ireland the best place in the world to establish a high impact technology startup. This in turn will help lead to Ireland becoming a leading global destination for high impact startups (of up to 7 years in existence) that want to scale up rapidly, effectively a “Startup Island”.
