The Tech Industry Alliance (TIA) has confirmed that its 2024 Leaders’ Awards ceremony will be held in the Great Southern Hotel, Killarney, on November 29, given that Kerry is a region that is swiftly becoming a powerhouse of technological innovation.

The decision to host the event in Killarney highlights TIA’s commitment to recognising the

achievements of the entire south-west’s tech and STEM communities and the vital role that collaboration plays in driving this regional success.

The awards, now in their 17th year, have become the benchmark for celebrating those who are shaping the future of technology in the region.

From emerging start-ups to established multinational companies, the awards honour the leaders whose contributions are making a significant impact on the region’s growth.

Former winners of Tech Person of the Year include Frank Madden, founder and CEO of Crest Solutions and Andrew O’Shaughnessy, founder of Poppulo.

The Leaders’ Awards represent nearly two decades of unwavering dedication to fostering innovation, collaboration and excellence within the tech sector.

TIA board member Seán Ryan remarked: ”Bringing our flagship event to Kerry isn’t just a

milestone –  it’s a statement.

“It underscores our commitment to driving tech innovation and collaboration across every corner of the south-west. County Kerry and Cork’s tech scene is thriving and it’s only right that we celebrate these achievements in a region that plays such a crucial role in Ireland’s economy”.
