From Agriculture to Space Lasers🛰️, Ireland has witnessed significant change over a relatively short period and the future is bright.📈 ☘️Part 2 of the Grand Tour Ireland with Pia from Prima Materia covers the current challenges and future opportunities for Ireland in the European context. 🇪🇺 The Irish are deeply proud of our island on the outskirts of Western Europe and also proud Europeans. ☘️+🇪🇺 We want to believe in a bold and ambitious future for both Ireland and Europe. 🚀Policy, when both radical and brave, has the power to chart new directions. Evidence-driven, innovative policymaking holds the key to addressing Ireland's most pressing challenges. Honorable mentions for talented and ambitious Irish siblings like John Collison, Patrick Collison, John Mackey, Ruth Mackey and David Mackey. 👉 https://lnkd.in/evEdNmkt

After working with Pia Michel from Prima Materia, I've contributed to her Grand Tour series with a piece on Ireland - a nation that has transformed from "the poorest of the rich" to a modern knowledge economy in just one generation. While EU tech pessimism dominates headlines, Prima Materia takes a refreshingly optimistic stance, shared by us at Act VC by celebrating Europe's innovation legacy. Ireland exemplifies this narrative - a nation of just 5.2 million people that has consistently punched above its weight and now stands on unprecedented foundations for future growth. I have tried to do some justice to this small but resilient Island of proud people whose country has evolved from an agricultural society to a modern knowledge economy with a bright future. 📈Bold Economic Transformation -From "The poorest of the rich" (The Economist, 1988) to boasting the EU's 3rd highest net earnings today -Economy growing at 4% - more than double the Eurozone average -Climbed from 25th on the UN Human Development Index in 1990 to 8th globally today -€108bn tax revenue in 2024 with a €34bn cash balance - remarkable fiscal health in contrast to our UK neighbours 🚀Strategic Advantages Fuelling Success -Perfect bridge between EU and US markets as the largest English-speaking EU member -Europe's most educated workforce - highest tertiary education participation in the EU -Powerhouse sectors: Life Sciences (Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck Group), Tech (Google, Meta, Microsoft in "Silicon Docks"), and ✈️ Aircraft Leasing (controlling 65% of global leased aircraft via AerCap, SMBC Aviation Capital, Avolon) 💡Homegrown Innovation Champions -Established success stories: Intercom, Workhuman, Cubic Telecom, Tines, Fenergo, AMCS Group and many more. -Next-gen entrepreneurs: Ambitious repeat founders like Barry Lunn, James Ives, and many others breaking new ground. -Growing risk capital ecosystem: State agencies (Enterprise Ireland, National Treasury Management Agency/ISIF) indigenous VCs (Act Venture Capital, Atlantic Bridge, Frontline Ventures, Elkstone, Sure Valley Ventures) and international capital to fuel funding growth - from €400m in 2014 to €651m in just Jan-Feb 2025 🔭The Path Forward Ireland faces "challenges of growth" - infrastructure struggling to match its rapid economic and population expansion. The success of the Irish economy can mask the challenges. The solution? Double down on what brought us here: a radical and ambitious approach to policy making. Attracting global talent to build tomorrow's innovation economy on Irish soil could be one of many. I'd like you to stay tuned next week for Part 2, where we'll highlight Ireland's most ambitious founders (John Collison, Patrick Collison, John Mackey and more) and the extraordinary opportunities emerging over the next decade.

Just realized I hadn't formally done the LinkedIn "Excited to Announce" post...! I've moved to a new challenge at MBRYONICS and back to the Space/Satellite Industry as Senior Director of Electronics. Was difficult to stay away! Working on Space Lasers! (Free Space Optical links, Photonics, OICs and EICs and Co-packaged optics) I'm going to be in Washington DC at the SATELLITE Conference & Exhibition 2025 next week. Get in touch if you're interested in high speed Optical InterSatellite Links, Space <-> Ground optical links or high speed intra Satellite photonic links. Looking forward to rekindling connections in the Satellite Industry... Traveling with Heather (McKinney) O.

It was such a great opportunity to see young minds at work! And very encouraging to see how much interest there is in space and space applications. Well done to you all!

 🚀 Resonate Space Challenge: Inspiring Ireland's Future Space Innovators We're thrilled to share the successful launch and progress of the Resonate Space Challenge, hosted by Tom Mallon and Ian Stewart from Resonate and supported by Rita Malosti from MBRYONICS, Stephen Bell and Trevor Hendren from Scouts Northern Ireland! Scouts from across Northern Ireland and Scouting Ireland took on the ultimate STEM challenge to design innovative solutions for the space industry. On February 16th, these young visionaries stepped into the spotlight and pitched their ideas in a Dragon's Den-style presentation. The esteemed panel, featuring experts from the space industry and Scout representatives, was on hand to provide guidance, ask questions, and ultimately select the most promising projects. All participants will have the opportunity to engage in space-themed activities and earn their Astronautics badge, courtesy of the Scouts. The top six teams will advance to the testing day at Resonate in March. MBRYONICS is excited to foster the next generation of space pioneers and are immensely proud of everyone involved in this inspiring event. Stay tuned for updates as we journey together into the future of STEM and space exploration! #ResonateSpaceChallenge #STEMEducation #SpaceInnovation #FutureLeaders #MBRYONICS #ResonateTesting

A great recognition of the excellence of our team and their work.
