Country accused of underselling its ‘remarkable entrepreneurial ability’

Ireland is underselling its entrepreneurial ability according to Flextronics president of integrated network solutions, Caroline Dowling.

Ms Dowling was speaking at the Cork Chamber of Commerce breakfast, where she told attendees the country was not promoting the achievements of entrepreneurs who have left Ireland.

“Ireland Inc is branded worldwide in a pretty phenomenal way. What it is known for is its manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, which is fantastic. What it is not known for is its intellectual property and its innovation.
