Government Buildings
The Government launched four funds worth €4 billion which are part of the €116 billion Project Ireland 2040 investment which was launched earlier this year.
The Government says the €4 billion will be invested in rural development, urban regeneration, climate action and innovation.
…A further €500 million will be investment in the development of disruptive innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics.
Hmm.

it’s a pity with all of that cash slushing around they couldn’t afford to register a domain name …
i may have ‘linked’ to the direct page-its govt.ie but its a marvelous initiative and should be applauded.
of course there will be execution issues,lots the usual hurlers on the ditch,it would be great see some funding going towards ‘agtech’,Ireland has incredible potential in this area.
“Coincidentally, the agtech investment landscape has exploded over the last decade, from a niche, opportunistic clade of the venture capital investment class, to a legitimate asset class attracting focused and generalist funds with dedicated agtech investment allocations.”
