member of the ‘San Fran- cisco Sister City Commit- tee’ said that, as a result of their visit, a number of Memorandums of Under- standing have been signed with Cork firms. Fine Gael Cllr, Susan
McCarthy, says our super- fast fibre-optic link with America and Norwegian Airs Atlantic flight route is helping to open up a run- way to new markets.
The internet super high-
way, direct flights from Cork to Boston and the fact that Ireland is the only English speaking Country in Eu- rope, is making Cork an attractive alternative to the U.K. “It’s a great opportuni-
ty not just for Cork City but for the entire region to showcase our little part of the world as a serious contender when U.S. com- panies are looking to ac- cess the single market, post Brexit. Cork has a lot to offer as a region and is an attractive alternative to the
over developed Dublin re- gion. We need to capitalise on the fact that we will be the only English speaking EU state post Brexit, and maximise our opportunities in this regard.” Denise Tormey, delegate
member and a founder of Plannet21 Communica- tions based in Little Island, told the East Cork Jour- nal that at least two of the visiting companies have ex- pressed a deep desire to re- locate here, as Brexit poses a real threat. “One believes he may have to relocate because
of compliance issues. The second is a company who is already here, who wants to set up Research and Devel- opment.” “Outside of this there are going to be both artistic and food exchanges between Ireland and san Francisco”. €247 million was invested
in Ireland in the first quar- ter of 2017. The flow of money is beginning to slow. For many start ups the
immediate future presents a major problem. As part of the delegation, Enterprise Ireland brought a number of venture capitalists to lis-
ten to 20 Irish firms pitch their wares. “While there was no in-
vestment expectations what many gained was huge in- sightful knowledge, huge connections” Ms Tormey tells the East Cork Jour- nal. The Plannet21 founder
is quick to point out that it’s not all about “an beal bocht.” While we attract firms
like Eventbrite, Amazon and Apple, Irish firms like Voxpro, Stryker and Plan- net21 are making strong waves across the pond.
