More than 100 of Ireland’s best and brightest entrepreneurs – including leading business interests in Kerry – travelled to Austin, Texas and New York for the annual EY Entrepreneur of the Year CEO’s retreat.
The week-long event is Ireland’s largest unofficial trade mission, specifically focused on fostering entrepreneurship and the attendance included Edmond Harty of Innovalogix, Jim Breen of PulseLearning, John T O’Sullivan of BioAtlantis and Paul Fitzgibbon of Ard Rí Group who made the trip from Kerry.
The aim of the retreat was to support, inform and challenge the entrepreneurs – a cohort that includes a mix of this year’s 25 EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalists and alumni – through inspirational talks from international, political and thought leaders.
They spent the week between Texas and New York City where they participated in an agenda of executive coaching and education, as well as sessions with the leaders of some of America’s most successful businesses.
