Irelands Innovation Index 2023 Calls for a Sustained National Investment in Sustainability Research and Innovation
“Irelands Innovation Index 2023” complied by IRDG Innovation Network and KPMG Ireland is the result of their survey to capture the attitudes to Research and Innovation in Ireland, how Ireland compares to other countries, and what improvements can be made to maintain and enhance our performance.
Whilst the whole report makes for excellent reading, we were drawn to ( and delighted to see) the call for a sustained national investment in sustainability Research and Innovation which will prevent a situation whereby we are reliant on technological solutions and expertise from outside the country, reducing our competitiveness both at home and abroad.
Their recommendation, outlined in the report is for a bold and substantial step of support to targets at R&D that impacts:
• effective and efficient green decarbonised energy sources
• pollution reduction and promotion of a circular economy
• sustainable agriculture and food production
• energy efficient buildings
• green transport and • initiatives to foster biodiversity
