ConnectIreland has strengthtened its commitment to Irish start-ups by assuming control of Startup Ireland.
Startup Ireland Eoin Costello will be moving on from the organisation to take up a role with Digital DunLaoghaire.
Joanna Murphy, CEO of ConnectIreland, said: “This is a very innovative development for both ConnectIreland and Startup Ireland. Given the skillset that currently exists in ConnectIreland, this union will integrate seamlessly into what we do while also offering new opportunities and areas for growth.”
Eoin Costello, co-founder of Startup Ireland (pictured), said: “If Ireland is to become a global start-up hub by 2020 it is now fitting that a bigger, internationally connected organisation takes on this mission. With its international network of connectors and deep commitment to playing its part in the economic development of Ireland’s towns, cities and regions, the organisation best placed to do this is ConnectIreland.”
Startup Ireland, powered by ConnectIreland, will co-host the GEN (Global Enterprise Network) Startup Nation Summit as part of the Global Startup Gathering 2016 with Cork Innovates in November.
