Tech firms look to Access Silicon Valley

Within the next two months, early-stage Irish technology firms will be able to benefit from a programme aimed at fast-tracking their entry to the US market and, specifically, the lucrative and high-potential Silicon Valley/San Francisco region.

Enterprise Ireland unveiled its ‘Access Silicon Valley’ initiative yesterday, aimed at giving Irish tech firms a strong helping hand in accessing the highly competitive Silicon Valley region .

Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation Minister Richard Bruton said the practical, hands-on programme forms a key part of the Government’s plans to accelerate jobs growth among the Irish technology sector and, ultimately, has the potential to create more jobs in Ireland.
