Thanks to @piammichel , @eldsjal and @shak from @PrimaMateria_ for their refreshingly optimistic and defiant stance by celebrating Europe's innovation. Ireland - a nation of just 5.2 million people now stands on unprecedented foundations for future growth.

- Ireland is at the foothills of opportunity.
- Companies need to raise €50 million & we want to support that from Ireland.
- We can move from being FDI-dependent into an advanced economy at the cutting edge of innovation if we can match that ambition.
