Enterprise Ireland backed 79 start-ups last year and expects these to generate 756m in sales. One expert (probably the Minister of ETE) commented “I do think that 2008 is a good year to launch a Business venture”
Would you launch a new business venture in the Construction Sector?
There seems to be quite a bit of bullish optimism across the Irish economy – glass half full stuff. Today it is the turn of the IT sector. I hope these voices are that of realism and not a case of dillusion like our good friend from Iraq “Comical Ali” – remember his statements about the US forces with a US tank in the background.
Anyway today I am going to believe what I have read.
The IT sector looks set to have a bright 2008. Over 50% of Senior Technology Executives surveyed were confident about the prospects for the sector in 2008. 68% of those surveyed expected to hire staff this year. Of note is that 48% felt that it was getting more difficult to recruit good staff.
So all the IT professionals who left the sector after the 2000 dotbomb – come back we need you!!
