The Adapters :Galway and\u00a0 Dublin, Ireland. Cities are not only witnessing innovation and adaptation in the business sector, but are also actively embracing these changes. Galway, in particular, has taken a unique approach by utilizing its “followers” in Dublin to drive economic growth. Credit goes to the Galway Chamber of Commerce, led by CEO Kenneth Deery<\/a><\/b>\u00a0and Galway Chamber President\u00a0Dermot Nolan<\/a><\/b>, for their commendable efforts.<\/p>\n

Recently, the\u00a0#GalwayChamberCommerce<\/a><\/b>\u00a0organized a gathering at the Bank of Ireland, College Green, in the historic House of Lords chamber. This event brought together over 90 community leaders and business professionals from the greater Dublin area. The primary objective was to establish connections with individuals who have ties to\u00a0#Galway<\/a><\/b>, encouraging them to contribute to the city’s mission and seek their support and participation in enhancing its prosperity.<\/p>\n

Galway boasts the highest employment rates in Ireland and is experiencing rapid growth. The city embraces adaptability and innovation as core principles, evident in initiatives like the\u00a0PorterShed<\/a><\/b>\u00a0(start-up enabler)\u00a0Mary Rodgers<\/a><\/b>\u00a0and the Innovation Hubs at\u00a0#NUIGalway<\/a><\/b>\u00a0#ATUATU<\/a><\/b>\u00a0Galway\u00a0Cait Noone FIHI<\/a><\/b>\u00a0Orla Flynn<\/a><\/b>. These projects provide platforms for product development and entrepreneurial empowerment.<\/p>\n
