THE ROLE OF INNOVATION IN ECONOMIC GROWTH

This project has developed a new, all-island, innovation network for the public and private sectors, business bodies, academics and students, bringing them together for lectures, seminars and master classes with world-renowned experts.

While the value of networks of business, policy makers and academics is widely recognised, this project has an additional aspect. It focuses on innovation as a strategic theme in competitive success and provides an all-Ireland forum for organisational innovation from network learning.
