Ireland Brothers Inc. Who's in? Down to business (over a New York lunch!)

The Ireland Brothers Inc. initiative is a fantastically simple yet game changing idea.

The Board and Promoters (private sector individuals with proven track records from across the island and the US) intend to attract up to 32 companies (stemming from the availability of 32 units of 500 to 750 sq. ft.) and create 32 relationships for them on the other side of the Atlantic. A relationship is defined as a Mentor, Capital Provider, Customer, Collaborative Partner or Supplier.

In addition we intend to instigate or stimulate 32 relationships on the other side of the Irish border, thus giving opportunity for companies from Limerick, Galway, Cork, Dublin, etc. as well as Belfast. We will also encourage relationships across the Irish Sea, recognising that the #1 trading partner of Northern Ireland is Great Britain, as is also the case for the Republic of Ireland.



The initiative is ready to roll, subject to locking down the Participation Agreements and will take 12 months from soup to nuts. In the meantime the work of identifying the best and brightest talent in Belfast (and beyond) is underway and relationships can and will be established before the Real Estate component is complete.

We welcome short comments on Belfast Media Group blog postings but you should be aware that, since we've put our names to our articles, we encourage you to do so also. Preference in publication will be given to those who provide an authenticated full name — as is already the case in our newspapers. Comments should be short and relate to the subject matter and, of course, shouldn't be libelous. And remember, if you find that there isn't enough space on our blogs for your views, you can always start your own. There are over two million blogs out there, another one can only benefit the blogosphere.
