Our vision is that Ireland is the best country in the world for ambitious, high-growth companies to start, scale and succeed
StartupIreland has always been a visible advocate for the startup community in Ireland, and we seek bold and audacious new ways to accelerate Ireland's startup and scaleup environment. Our objective is to increase the number of startups that start + scale successfully.
Our history
2015

In 2015 Startup Ireland, with the assistance of many other organisations, ran the Startup Gathering, a weeklong series of approx. 400 Startup related events spread across many Irish towns and cities. This was driven by a small and exceptionally hard working salaried team, the voluntary board of Startup Ireland and a huge number of other volunteers and was facilitated by many other individuals and organisations. A key feature of the gathering was a series of structured break-out sessions where attendees gathered in groups to discuss the improvements needed in Ireland’s startup ecosystem.
