US inward investment was the main driving force of economic development in Ireland and its transformation from a rural agrarian economy to a modern industrial economy. Tax benefits, low costs, and open flexible culture were key enablers.
By 2010 Ireland was the most expensive country in Europe but maintained is position as the fastest growing economy in Europe for the next 40 years by becoming central to Asia's expansion into Europe.
By 2050 there were more English speaking Chinese than in the any other country in the world. Ireland had become central broker between East and West.
Dublin was twinned with Beijing as far back at 2008 and the Taoiseach Ahearn's excellent relationship with the Chinese Premier was a strong foundation block for the development of personal relations and the following inward investment for the next 25 years. Other nations followed the Chinese example as Ireland adapted more quickly to the needs of the globally ambitious Asian companies. Ireland became the respected location for Corporate registration like Delaware in the USA and became the premier attractive location for knowledge workers in the corporate professional services industries.
What other initiatives enabled Ireland and in particular Dublin to become the centre of European HQ's for Asian companies ?
How did we exploit the fame of our famous literary writers to draw more emotional attachment to the Irish Nation among people throughout the world?
How did our Universities change to become the leading attraction for international students of advanced studies to learn and ultimately live and contribute to our society ?
