AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

E-waste: A survey found 44% of people in Ireland discarded a small electronic gadget unused, after one use or within a month. Fast-tech purchases reached 91 million items last year, while fewer than half of respondents used a recycling centre. AI and energy: The EU is looking to Ireland’s AI approach as it weighs how to develop the technology. In Ireland, a proposed fossil-fuel-powered data centre in Kilmeaden was refused, prompting calls for a moratorium on such projects. Tech jobs and research: Ericsson is planning a purpose-built R&D facility near Athlone, while Irish tech company Tines plans to create 100 jobs and open a new facility over two years. LegalTech: Summize has appointed Brightflag co-founder Alex Kelly as a board adviser after a $50 million funding round, drawing on his experience scaling the Dublin-founded legal software company.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result. Feedback is welcome. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions about the AGP Executive Report.
