🌊 Transforming the Irish Sea from a boundary into a bridge of opportunity.

The Irish Sea Rim (ISR) Investment Innovation Enterprise Zone represents a revolutionary approach to regional development, uniting 6 jurisdictions in an unprecedented collaboration. Just as the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas serve as catalysts for regional prosperity, we're reimagining the Irish Sea as a powerful connector for economic growth, innovation, and cultural exchange.

Our vision spans:
📈 100,000 new jobs by 2035
🤝 800,000+ businesses networked
🎓 40+ universities collaborating
💡 £1B+ in strategic investments
🌱 Pioneering sustainable energy initiatives

At our core is the innovative 'Spherical Economy' model, where traditional sectors merge with future-focused solutions.

Our flagship Energy Race isn't just a sporting event - it's a symbol of regional unity, drawing millions of spectators while showcasing our commitment to sustainable development.

Through the Irish Sea Rim Environmental & Scientific Observatory, we're leading the charge in marine research and environmental protection.

Our cross-border business networks are creating unprecedented opportunities for trade and collaboration, while our educational partnerships are nurturing the next generation of innovators.

From Southwest Scotland to Eastern Ireland, from Northwest England to Wales, and from Northern Ireland to the Isle of Man, we're breaking down traditional barriers. Our mission transcends political boundaries, focusing instead on collective growth and shared prosperity.

Join us as we write a new chapter in regional cooperation.

The Irish Sea Rim isn't just an organisation - it's a movement toward a more connected, prosperous, and sustainable future.

Together, we're proving that the most powerful bridges aren't built with steel and concrete, but with collaboration and shared vision.
