A new economic and environment stimulus partnership has secured funding to progress several ‘firsts’ for the Midlands, that will mobilise the next generation of green-enterprise innovators and stimulate regional job creation.
Empower Eco was formed in the early days of Ireland’s March lockdown as a collaboration between Athlone Institute of Technology, Bord na Móna, Enterprise Ireland, Offaly County Council, LEO Offaly, Limerick Institute of Technology, Maynooth University, and Kilcormac Development Association.
It is chaired by Rita Shah, founder and CEO of Shabra Plastics and Recycling Limited.
