Delegation stresses strong potential of south-west

THE Cork region could become a showcase for the rest of Europe and develop high quality, eco jobs according to an alliance of leading business and education experts.

A Cork Chamber-led delegation on a two-day visit to Brussels investigated how European programmes, funds and policies could help achieve their aims.

Initiated by the chamber’s Science, Research and Innovation Committee, the trip was a joint effort by the business and academic communities to show the highly innovative and entrepreneurial potential of the south-west region.
