Office of the Dublin Startup Commissioner praised in the UK

A leading UK planning agency has recommended replicating the office of the Dublin Startup Commissioner in towns and cities across the UK to promote and co-ordinate growth in local economies.

The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) praised the appointment of a startup commissioner and the regeneration of the Dublin Docklands and called for the capital’s decisions to be mirrored in the UK.

Plans to develop technology and advanced manufacturing hubs must be balanced with measures that ensure their growth is beneficial to the whole city or region in which they are based.
