More than 50 years in the making, the Irish business model is one built on the framework of an open, globalised economy. If there is one word to describe our model, it is resilient. This resiliency is born out of our agility and ability to transform as global circumstances change.

With global business trends defining sustainability as core to competitiveness, the Irish business model is harnessing its unique attributes to reposition itself on the world stage.

This story of our evolution into a Model of Sustainable Substance is a powerful one we need to tell everyone.
