SOUTH EAST SETS ITS SITE ON REGIONAL COLLABORATION

A new website launched by Ireland South East Development Office (ISEDO) – a collaboration of local authorities in Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford – aims to promote the region as a place to live, work and invest for investors and professionals.

The website offers practical information and case studies of successful businesses and professionals in the region such as Innovate, Eirgen Pharma, Cartoon Saloon and Alltech.

Alan Quirke, ISEDO Director, thinks there is strong familiarity about the south east as an affordable and great place to live. “What is less well known are the opportunities and benefits for businesses and professionals in a region with almost 600,000 people and where the key urban centres are all within close proximity of each other.

“We are one of the fastest growing regions in Europe, we are Ireland’s best value region and we also have a broad pool of talent. We also have a unique collaborative culture and we can make it easy for investors to start, grow and scale here.”

The new website is accompanied by an fast-paced video filmed around the South East in the summer of 2019, which serves as a whistle-stop tour of what the region has to offer.
