Ibec has a number of Industry campaigns designed to ensure our critical industries get the support they need to remain world-class.
Experience Economy
Our campaign highlights the economic contribution of this sector to the Irish economy. It contributes €4 billion annually to the Irish economy and employs over 330,000 people.
Imagine the Cliffs of Moher during peak tourist season or Croke Park on a full day; all the services and suppliers that make those places work – the security, the cleaners, the stewards, the caterers… That is Ireland’s Experience Economy.
Manufacturing in Ireland
Ibec's latest report ‘Manufacturing in Ireland – Facing Forward: Manufacturing Confidence Amidst Evolving Challenges’ highlights manufacturing success in Ireland, its fundamental importance to our economy and presents the results of an October 2024 survey, along with Ibec's recommendations for continued growth and success in this sector.

Founders report
Ibec's recommendations to Government to support founders. The recommendations were captured as part of Ibec member workshops, a member wide survey and were reviewed and endorsed by founder members across relevant trade associations.
What is clear is that founder-led enterprises need the right incentives, supports and ecosystem to flourish, and that their contribution to economic prosperity and a thriving ecosystem needs further recognition.
