Launched in February 2024, We Are Global Irish is an international economic development social enterprise  dedicated to connecting and showcasing Irish businesses, professionals, and organisations across the globe. Our mission complements the Government of Ireland’s Diaspora Policy and international trade objectives by strengthening economic links, fostering collaboration, and promoting Irish innovation and enterprise worldwide.
We aim to build  a community of supporters where every  business, organisation, entrepreneur, innovator and professional of Irish heritage has a role to play. By joining together, we create an ecosystem where our businesses support one another, where opportunities flow freely, and where no company feels isolated—regardless of where in the world we operate.

We help brand Irish and diaspora products, services, sports, education, cultural and tourism.  We aim to  transcend local markets, providing a springboard to showcase products and services on an international stage. Whether you’re a startup, an established enterprise scouting new markets, a small business looking to establish global partnerships, or, you are interested in connecting with Irish businesses, we offer a home where aspirations can find their wings.

A single root with global reach.

Our people and culture have spread across the world. Irish families put down roots in every corner of the globe. They made friends, had families, and passed their culture on to their children, and their children’s children. Lives were lost to the famine and to severe hardship when they landed on foreign shores. Despite the hardships, they persevered, worked hard, started businesses, and left their mark wherever they settled. At We Are Global Irish, we help foster relationships to honor and benefit those roots. 

The Power of Connecting Culture with Commerce 

Connecting Irish people in business to their roots can unlock new avenues of opportunities by uncovering and strengthening links with those of Irish descent across the globe.  This genetic reconnection can foster a sense of shared identity and heritage, which in turn can deepen personal and professional networks. By harnessing these connections, Irish businesses can access untapped markets, forge strategic partnerships, and enhance economic ties. This global network of individuals with Irish roots can contribute to economic growth and cultural exchange, creating a robust foundation for sustained international collaboration and prosperity.
