IWTC keynote presentation

This document discusses Ireland's potential to become a leader in the web2.0 sector. It outlines some of the key elements needed to develop a successful entrepreneurial ecosystem including entrepreneurs, startups, skills, investment, exits, and support networks. It notes some early Irish web2.0 successes like Needahotel.com but argues more is needed, including a greater number of startups, more angel investors, better support systems, and the development of Ireland into a center for web2.0 research and business leadership on a global scale. The goal is to replicate Israel's success and create billions in exits from web2.0 companies with operations in Ireland.
