This award honours the achievements of a local entrepreneur and the leadership they have shown in not only in their own business, but also in making Kerry a destination to do business.
It capped off a great night in Ballygarry — where well known rugby pundit and broadcaster Brent Pope was the after-dinner speaker — which saw people from many fields of business attend as the closing event of Cantillon 2018.
The Institute of Technology Tralee hosted the Cantillon Conference 2018, in association with FEXCO, at the Rose Hotel on Thursday.
The annual event brings together a host of national and international industry leaders, economists, journalists, academics and entrepreneurs each year to discuss key fintech topics.
This year’s conference focussed on the theme BrexTech – Navigating New Borders. A host of prominent speakers examined the effect of digital borders that will be created as a result of Brexit, and examined how Irish business leaders can leverage new and emerging technologies to overcome these barriers.
The conference explored existing and future challenges that will change the way we trade, pay, transact, communicate and prepare for the future global economic landscape. Scroll down for photos from the ball and the conference…
