  1. Reviving the tiger with technology By: Connor Levenhagen

  2. The Celtic Tiger was NOT made by technology • Celtic Tiger came from property investments • Internet emerged around same time • With increase in cash, Irish citizens bought technology, but did not know how it was created • Even with increase of technology use, Ireland lagged behind other countries in use • After collapse, Ireland decided to become a creator of technology instead of a user

  3. Goals to create technology • 1. Have education focused on technology • 2. Make products to benefit Ireland • 3. Attract foreign companies to work in/with Ireland

  4. Education in Technology • Biggest problem currently for Ireland • College students taking computer science have biggest dropout rate, engineering also has numerous dropouts, both due to difficulty of math • May be because technology that is used to benefit education is behind • Science has highest graduate rate in EU

  5. Technology Projects • Information-communication technology- usage of telecommunications to convey information (Internet, Youtube, Facebook) • Europe lags behind rest of world in ICT • Big players in Ireland ICTIntelAnalog Devices BVAlcatel-Lucent’s Bell Labs

  6. Cloud Computing • Providing information technology (IT) services over the Internet to save costs and energy • Major players in cloud computingDellMicrosoftGoogleHP • 1.2 million Euro research grant to work on cloud architecture, management, research, and security

  7. Attracting foreign investment • Be an intermediary between the west (USA, Europe) and the East (Asia) • Signed science and tech memorandum of understanding with China • Already have several USA companies with offices in Ireland • Number one in Europe and number two in world for after tax costs due to low 12.5% corporate tax rate • Plenty of buildings to sell after building boom

  8. Future • Lack of jobs in tech sectors • If filled with foreigners who know technology, where would that leave the current Irish people? • Can revive Celtic Tiger, but may lead Ireland back to where it started once technology boom ends
