2020−2040 Vision And Beyond
Why Galway?
Because Galway has been a European base for global businesses for over 40 years

Galway is unique. In 1919 the first trans-Atlantic flight landed in Connemara near the Marconi wireless station which had been built twelve years earlier. Air travel and wireless communications: two of the biggest influences on the way we do business today. Both had their first European land fall in Galway.
Perched on the edge of the Atlantic, Galway acted as a bridge between Europe and North America in the 20th Century and there are many more compelling reasons for locating a business here today.
Galway’s future success requires the interaction of a dynamic regional capital with a thriving region.
Galway Chamber’s collective vision is to make Galway the model in Ireland for inclusive innovation and economic growth, fuelled by the energy, drive, culture and diversity of the people of Galway city and county.
