IDA clients committed to spend over 1bn euro on sustainability initiatives in 2025
This demonstrates that FDI operations here are contributing to their corporation’s global drive to reach net zero – making them more competitive in the process. To ensure that IDA clients in the Mid-West are utilising grant support for their sustainably projects, Shannon Chamber, in partnership with IDA Ireland, is hosting a focused, practical session for multinational (IDA client) companies in the Shannon and wider Mi-West region.
This event will show how IDA supports clients on their sustainability journey through Green Plus and Green Capital and will feature real-world case studies from companies at different stages of maturity.
