Irish researchers playing vital role in stimulating economic growth

Success in 2021 will depend on how readily companies can innovate and adapt to changing circumstances, says KTI director 

Alison Campbell, director of Knowledge Transfer Ireland, says KTI's 2020 awards highlighted a wealth of innovation being developed by Irish researchers in partnership with industry.

Advanced researchers in Irish third level colleges can look ahead to 2021 with optimism, with their innovative output in the past year having bolstered their global reputation.

Alison Campbell, director of Knowledge Transfer Ireland (KTI), says the past year has shown both the short and longer benefits of research and innovation, delivering new products and processes, creating and retaining jobs and contributing to the well-being of society.
