IRELAND'S TIGER ECONOMY
   
In the last decade, Ireland has grown from a slow, agricultural-led nation into the world’s number one software exporter with a strong, thriving economy. But how?
Inspire Nation led a group of delegates from the UK, Ireland and Dubai to learn the secrets of Ireland’s success. Delegates met with some of the country’s most influential business people, and visited the organizations that were fundamental to the growth and success of the Irish economy.
“It was shared learning at its best – a lively group, well organised from first to last, a varied program, an impressive list of speakers from Government, business and public agencies and time afterwards to reflect on what we had learned - exceptionally good value”. John Flamson, European Director, GONW
"Surely no other country in the rich world has seen its image change so fast. Fifteen years ago Ireland…was suffering from an awful cocktail of high unemployment, slow growth, high inflation, heavy taxation and towering public debts. Yet within a few years it had become the “Celtic Tiger”, a rare example of a developed country with a growth record to match East Asia's, as well as enviably low unemployment and inflation, a low tax burden and a tiny public debt." The Economist
