In terms of personnel, the main aim is to get more collaborations. It will follow the 14 prioritisation areas we have identified. These are key areas for Ireland to build excellence in. The aim would be to have another 1,000 collaborations with industry and new industry over the year ahead through the various agencies, including Enterprise Ireland, Science Foundation Ireland and IDA Ireland. We recognise that if we are going to build on this, we need to push it constantly and get new players in. That involves attracting new industry as well.
