As people up and down the country begin to quake at the thought of Ireland being left behind because of a lack of innovation, the people over at Paddy’s Valley seem to be doing something constructive about the problem.
While the aim of the project isn’t a purely economic one, it certainly has huge potential in that regard.
I mean, It makes complete sense for people in the Irish tech scene to head Stateside and get personally acquainted with the movers and shakers in Silicon Valley – what better way is there to get big ideas from planning to production than to see how it’s done first hand and expose it to the people that matter? It’s just like the Government-led trade missions to China and India, except on a far more one-to-one basis than that.
Head over there and help out if you can, or maybe even put your name down if it’s something you’d like to take part in.
Best of luck to those involved too.
