West Of Ireland Business Campus Forms Link With Silicon Valley
Westpark Shannon is to figure prominently in moves to develop closer ties between Silicon Valley companies and the Atlantic Way region of the West of Ireland.
The Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG), comprised of high-level technology Irish and Irish-American leaders in Silicon Valley, is opening an office at Westpark Shannon as part of a newly signed agreement.
The office at the County Clare Business Campus will promote the existing technology-related strengths of the Shannon Region. It will seek to link established and new start-ups in the region with leading and emerging companies in California. ITLG already has offices in Dublin and Belfast.
Mr. Brian O’Connell, Managing Director, Westpark Shannon and Chairman of Atlantic Way, commented, “This initiative is especially timely. It highlights the attraction of the Shannon Region of Ireland as a low-cost, high-contribution centre for U.S. companies wishing to develop their global enterprise models through a presence in Europe”.
ITLG Chairman John Hartnett, who is CEO of the Cardiff-based G24i Technology Group, emphasised the importance of innovation for Ireland in the current difficult global economic climate. “I am very excited that the opening of this new office will greatly assist in that process. It will act as a conduit for contacts between major U.S. technology corporations and Irish enterprises”, added the Limerick native.
Strategically located next to Shannon International Airport and in the heart of the Atlantic Way, Westpark Shannon has become a unique and prestigious office location for global corporations to headquarter their European operations. The Campus is home to some of the world’s leading companies such as GE, Digital River, Genesis Lease and SES ' as well as serving as the National Regional Headquarters for Enterprise Ireland.
Established in 2005, the Atlantic Way has set out to establish strong alliances and co-operation between people and business in diverse locations with the intention of creating a region of excellence for future economic and social growth along the Galway to Limerick/Shannon corridor. The voluntary organisation’s membership includes leaders and decision makers in business, education, community organisations, local government, voluntary services and development based in the West and Mid West of Ireland.
