Future Cork: A new chapter is on the horizon for Cork, but only with continued support

Numerous transformative projects that will change how we live, work and travel in the city are under way, but funding streams are uncertain 

We share a vision for a progressive Cork region, characterised by a high quality of life, world-class educational and cultural institutions, seamless transport and active travel, and supports for innovation that allow firms to grow and compete on a global scale, while also attracting talent and foreign direct investment.

Recent years have seen Cork transform into an independent economic engine. A city region that was, for a long time, viewed as a counterbalance to the capital has been transformed by significant investment, unparalleled talent and an ambitious local ecosystem, driven by a vision of a thriving, prosperous region.

Despite numerous international challenges in the past decade, business confidence remains high among firms operating in Cork. Ongoing growth and investment demonstrate the capacity of Cork business to be agile and resilient.
