Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Irish Membership of CERN: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Ed Hendrick:

Yes, absolutely. If this were opened up across the board, whereby companies were allowed to submit tenders for projects at CERN, it could mean a lot of new business for businesses in Ireland. SocialTalent, which was mentioned in our opening notes is a good example. It is a company from Dublin that we introduced to CERN. We had been working with CERN for a couple of years, SocialTalent had started up and was growing and as we felt it could be of great value to CERN to work with SocialTalent, we provided the introduction and because of that valued recommendation CERN started working with SocialTalent very quickly. That networking effect is vast and its potential is huge.
