• Ireland to be a global startup hub by 2020

“It’s my belief that vibrant startup ecosystems will create

more successful startups, which lead to more startups. It has to

be in this order.

Helping startups plug into their local communities is key, if they’re

in a robust local network startups have a much greater

chance of success.”Scott Case, CEO of Startup America Partnership
