Your Voice, Our Blueprint: Co-Designing the Irish Sea Rim Supercluster
Wednesday, 28 January 2026, from 12.00pm to 12.45pm.
The Opportunity
The Irish Sea Rim is a major new transnational investment, innovation, and enterprise zone. By uniting the economic power of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, and the Isle of Man, we are creating a single Innovation Supercluster representing over 1 million businesses and a combined GVA of £930 Billion.
We want to build this with you and for you. We believe that true economic growth comes from cross-border collaborations that transcend political boundaries. However, to make this work for everybody we need to move beyond top-down strategies to a co-design model where your voice is heard by city regions, governments, industry, and academia.
We need to hear directly from startups and SMEs.
What We Will Cover
In this interactive session, we want you to be a key part of the discussion:
- Tell us what’s frustrating you: What barriers are stopping you from scaling or accessing neighbouring markets?
- Tell us what you need: How do you need us to represent you and help you grow?
- Tell us what you can offer: Help us link your supply and expertise with demand across the region.
- Tell us how we can support you: Help us design support, information, and platforms to connect you across the region, bridge the gaps to success, and amplify your growth and impact across the Irish Sea region
