Digital Irish hosts Celebration of Irish Founders at the Embassy of Ireland in London
For the first time, Digital Irish was at the Embassy of Ireland in London, hosted by Ambassador Martin Fraser. This special occasion brought together London’s Irish innovators from startups, corporates, and venture capital firms, with the aim of strengthening our community ties. At the heart of the event was a panel discussion featuring some of the city’s top Irish founders, who shared their stories and the lessons learned on their entrepreneurial journeys. We also used the event as a rallying call to action for everyone in attendance to think about how they can build a better community for all by paying it forward.
The Panel:
- Deirdre O’Neill – CCO @ Hertility
- Aine Kilkenny – CEO @ Riley
- Charlie Butler – CEO @ Bounce Insights
…with Digital Irish committee member and CEO of Contento, Alan Gleeson as moderator.
This event was sponsored by the Department of Foreign Affairs and the law firm for innovators; Taylor Wessing. Dannie Hanna of Taylor Wessing Ireland spoke on their behalf.
