National Digital Week presentations connected by Donald Trump theme

National Digital Week, in many ways, is about making the global local, and vice versa, so it’s no surprise that one hugely significant event was in the thoughts of attendees yesterday.

Aoibheann O’Brien, co-founder of Food Cloud, addresses the audience at National Digital Week.

Sarita Johnson, manager of female entrepreneurship in Enterprise Ireland, even displayed US president-elect Donald Trump’s picture during her presentation in Skibbereen on funding options for start-up firms.

As she pointed out how there was still much scope for greater roles for women in decision-making in business, she wondered how Hillary Clinton had failed to break through the glass ceiling of American politics.
