Opportunity brings us growth and this momentum creates its own challenges. Most notably, we must not only protect the quality of life that Cork people enjoy today, but actively advance and improve it.

In our engagement with the next Government we will champion these issues and the essential need for stability as the backdrop for any progressive narrative.

Our 1,200 members are influential and drive a thriving City region and our Partners play a critical role in this. We acknowledge their contribution and will continue to work together throughout 2020 to make Cork the best place for business.

Fifteen years ago, 80 percent of people said they chose a job before a location. Today, 64 percent choose the location before they choose the company or the job. Quality of life, placemaking, culture and economic resilience are the defining factors of success.
