Guest post by Christine Ramsey, Head of Client Operations Klearcom They say that "the worst type of problem is the one you can't see." This is especially true when it comes to empowering and enhancing Customer Experience (CX). For a business, there are very few challenges more costly than a poor customer journey or a negative review. In fact, one bad review can cause significant damage to a brand. As well as jeopardising customer retention, substandard CX can prevent referrals, undermine brand trust and hinder business growth. Given its impact on a company's long-term success, it is therefore imperative that CX is both tested and trusted. This means uncovering and understanding any blind spots (those problems that are hard or impossible to see) which could affect customer service and confidence levels. For multinational companies serving global customer bases, these undetected issues - such as poor call quality, communication errors and misrouted calls - across their Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems could not only be disruptive but also brand damaging. IVR systems allow businesses to automate call interactions through the use of voice prompts and DTMF inputs. IVR systems are therefore intended to save businesses time and money, while seamlessly and successfully transferring the customer to the desired department or getting them to a resolution quickly through self-serve options. However, if unchecked and untested, blind spots in IVR systems can have the opposite effect - causing delays, customer frustration, and in more serious cases, even system outages. Because they tend to fly under the radar, they often affect customers long before anyone on the client side realizes there's a problem (which can be costly from a reputational and financial perspective.) For example, a customer trying to reach their network provider's service desk could be prompted by the IVR to state the desired department but then is misrouted to sales. Or there might be a customer service message during a holiday period which is incorrect, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction among large cohorts of customers. CX blind spots can have various knock-on effects on a business, from reputational damage and reduced revenues to customer churn and compliance failures. In sectors which are highly regulated or during peak periods when demand is high, blind spots can potentially be catastrophic. In addition, the aftermath of a blind spot or outage can negatively impact employee morale, with faults leading to more calls from frustrated customers, resulting in more pressure on staff. Testing IVR systems can ensure optimal performance and experience for all stakeholders. By identifying and rectifying blind spots, IVR testing drives success for both customers and businesses - upholding quality, empowering customer journeys, and reducing the risk of outages. Furthermore, Call Detail Records (CDRs) can assist organisations with technical information to get resolution on blind spots faster as it enables them to pinpoint exactly where the issues are and reduce time to resolution (TTR.) With tighter regulations and rising customer expectations, companies are feeling the pressure to deliver a standout customer experience. To keep up, they need to be proactively testing their systems to catch blind spots before they turn into outages or unhappy customers. At the end of the day, it's not just the customer journey on the line but the future of the business. See more stories here.

The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Simon Harris TD and Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, today jointly secured Government approval of the final steps for Ireland to join the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN. The Tánaiste said: "Associate Membership of CERN will demonstrate Ireland's commitment to science and reaffirm our reputation as a centre for scientific investment. It will create opportunities for Irish researchers, students and industry to join world-class teams at CERN, and it will give CERN access to Ireland's talent and expertise." Minister Lawless said: "Having personally advocated for Ireland's Associate Membership of CERN for a long time, it is a pleasure to officially announce that Ireland will join CERN in October this year. Today's Cabinet approval is a milestone which authorises the final legal steps." Following today's decision, the Taoiseach signed a Government Order to enable the State to meet its obligations under the CERN Protocol on Privileges and Immunities. The remaining steps are now for Ireland to notify the Director-General of CERN that the internal approval procedures for the Associate Membership Agreement are complete, and to deposit an Instrument of Accession to the CERN Protocol on Privileges and Immunities with UNESCO. Following a mandatory waiting period, Ireland's Associate Membership is expected to begin officially in October. Minister Lawless continued: "Associate Membership of CERN is a long-standing national ambition and a commitment in the Programme for Government. However, joining CERN is only the beginning of Ireland's journey. It is a priority for me as Minister to ensure Ireland's success as an Associate Member State. "My Department will establish an expert advisory group in the coming months to guide our national approach to CERN membership. This group will work with my Department to maximise benefits for both Ireland and CERN." Associate Membership of CERN will bring benefits to Ireland across research, industry, skills, science outreach, and international relations. It will open doors for Ireland's researchers to participate in CERN's scientific programmes and will make Irish citizens eligible for staff positions and fellowships at CERN. It will also be possible for Irish citizens to access CERN's formal training schemes and develop skills in industry-relevant areas such as electronics, photonics, materials, energy systems and software. Membership will also allow Irish businesses to compete for contracts with CERN. CERN's cutting-edge research often demands the development and application of new technologies, encouraging innovation. Many technologies pioneered at CERN have applications in other spheres such as healthcare, space, energy and ICT. The World Wide Web was invented at CERN.

ESA BIC Ireland, which is led by Tyndall National Institute, one of 32 ESA BICs operating across 23 ESA member states, is delighted to announce that KineMo has been chosen as the latest company to join its incubation programme. KineMo's AI-powered platform accurately tracks and quantifies an individual's whole-body kinematics (the motion and angles of joints during exercise) from any single camera device, with no markers, wearables, or multi-camera calibration needed. During the evaluation and selection process, the technology demonstrated biomechanics lab-level accuracy in measuring joint angles during exercise while retaining the simplicity and scalability of recording with any single camera device. Under the partnership, KineMo will collaborate with specialists in ESA's Astronaut Training Centre near Cologne, Germany, to deploy and fine tune its platform in the following use cases: 1. Pre-mission astronaut training: evaluating and screening movement competency during training and injury-prevention protocols. 2. In-flight exercise: monitoring technique and movement competency on resistance devices designed for micro gravity. 3. Post-mission rehabilitation: tracking recovery of movement, range of motion and coordination during rehabilitation following long-duration spaceflight. Leo Peyton, Co-Founder of KineMo, said: "Our mission has always been to make peer-reviewed, biomechanically meaningful, accurate, and consistent kinematic insights accessible anywhere. Partnering with ESA allows us to push the boundaries of that vision even further, not only for 'occupational athletes' like astronauts, military personnel, or first responders, but also by bringing these insights back to coaches, physiotherapists, and clinicians working across all levels of sport, performance, fitness, and healthcare." Peter Finnegan, ESA BIC Ireland Manager, commented: "KineMo is at the forefront of developing cutting edge research into a real-world solution that has significant scaling potential across multiple applications. Deep tech companies of this kind are an integral component of Ireland's expanding space ecosystem. We look forward to supporting the company on its ESA BIC journey over the next two years." Jonathan Scott, Mission Officer at MEDES - Institute for Space Medicine and Physiology, Medical Projects and Technology Team Lead, ESA Space Medicine Office, said: "The ESA Space Medicine Team is delighted to collaborate with KineMo to explore the potential of single camera motion tracking technology for the resource-efficient assessment of pre, in and post-mission astronaut movement patterns."

With Gender Pay Gap reporting requirements expanding to mandate all companies with over 50 employees to publish gender pay gap reports for 2025, UCD Professional Academy is stepping up to support companies with a timely, expert-led webinar masterclass. Taking place on Wednesday 28th July 2025, from 2pm to 5pm, this free online event is aimed at HR professionals, DEI leads, compliance managers, and business leaders responsible for pay reporting and employer reputation. Through this masterclass, UCD Professional Academy wants to equip Irish businesses with the knowledge, tools, and best practices needed to file and produce their reports. Research from the European Commission shows women in the EU earn on average 13 per cent less than their male counterparts. Gender Pay Gap reporting is an important mechanism to identify, understand and address gender pay disparities within companies. This webinar, from UCD Professional Academy, will support companies to go beyond compliance and discover best practice initiatives to address identified gaps and contribute to a more equitable workplace for women and men in Ireland. Delivering the webinar on behalf of UCD Professional Academy is Tracy O'Brien, HR Subject Matter Expert and Lecturer at UCD Professional Academy. Speaking about the masterclass "With the requirements now expanding to companies with over 50 employees and the deadline moving from December to November, organisations must act swiftly and accurately to meet compliance standards and align with public expectations for transparency and equity. UCD Professional Academy are offering this free webinar to equip Irish corporates, and I encourage those to sign up. The Gender Pay Gap statistics are still quite staggering, highlighting persistent disparities in pay and progression between men and women across sectors. It's vital that employers not only meet their legal obligations but also take meaningful action to close these gaps and build more inclusive workplaces." Participants will gain a clear, step-by-step roadmap to compiling a legally compliant and impactful Gender Pay Gap Report. The session will provide practical guidance on identifying the right data, calculating statutory metrics accurately, and avoiding common reporting pitfalls. Attendees will also explore how to craft a strategic narrative that supports their organisation's employer brand. As part of the session, each participant will receive a free Gender Pay Gap Reporting Toolkit, which includes a reporting checklist, a data recording template, and a glossary of key terms to support their ongoing reporting efforts. "This isn't just about legal compliance, it's about building an inclusive workplace and demonstrating accountability," said John Delves, CEO of UCD Professional Academy. "Our masterclass aims to make the process straightforward, insightful, and action-oriented for Irish businesses." By attending this UCD Professional Academy masterclass, participants can gain the confidence and clarity they need to report accurately, and more importantly, to drive change.

Jarvio, the Dublin start-up that puts an AI operator behind every Amazon storefront, has raised €1.5 million in pre-seed funding. Backers include senior executives from Amazon, Target, Wayflyer, Meta and MongoDB; Brian Caulfield and HBAN angel investors; and institutional investors Darius Cubed, Baseline VC, Enterprise Ireland, NDRC and an Accel Scout Fund. The funding will accelerate engineering hires, automation development and U.S. expansion. It follows strong traction in Jarvio's private beta, where more than 650 brands have joined the waitlist in recent months. Rick Kelley, HBAN angel investor, said, "I'm delighted to support the Jarvio team who are helping businesses overcome the friction that comes with enabling e-commerce on Amazon, the largest platform in the world. As Amazon continues to be on nearly every phone in the western world, Jarvio will help merchants drive success." The journey began with Jake Ryan and Connor Mulholland, who met at University College Dublin and later launched a boutique Amazon agency after flipping everything from plastic dinosaurs to 12,000 candles during the pandemic. After years of manually solving the same operational challenges for clients, they realised the answer wasn't more services -it was smarter software. "eCommerce brands shouldn't have to juggle dashboards or get buried in fragmented tools just to grow," said Ryan, co-founder and CEO. " Jarvio gives teams their time back and lets them focus on what really matters, growing the business, not managing the chaos." The pain point is clear: most Amazon merchants rely on a maze of disconnected apps to run their business - wasting time, obscuring data, stalling scale, and driving up staffing costs. Jarvio offers a new model. More than just an Amazon tool, it acts as the hub for your entire eCommerce operation. It integrates with everything from marketplace software to Gmail, Slack, and task managers - bringing all your operations and workflows into one place. No more switching tabs or stitching together tools. Just one prompt-driven interface to run your business. "We're not building another tool to put in the box of eCommerce tools," Mulholland added. "We're building the box." In 2024, JD O'Hea joined as co-founder and CTO to chart Jarvio's AI roadmap. With deep expertise in AI, machine learning, and eCommerce, O'Hea set out a technical vision for a platform designed to redefine how eCommerce brands operate. Alongside founding engineer Joseph Tummon, they kicked off development of what's now Jarvio's AI foundation. Since then, the team has built relentlessly: through late nights in Dogpatch Labs, a stint in a San Francisco hacker house, and now, as part of the NDRC Accelerator and with €1.5m in fresh funding, they're scaling Jarvio into the operating system for modern eCommerce.

The have been very busy in their short time in action. Bryan Seeley and his group are laying down the law for the Member Institutions of the NCAA.  Congress may give the normal college student some relief by not allowing school to do something very sneaky. Speaking of Congress the are attempting to rush legislation through to aid the school with protections from boosters, athletes and parents. The S.C.O.R.E. Act.

In a recent episode of The New Stack Agents livestream, Antje Barth, AWS Developer Advocate for Generative AI, discussed the growing developer interest in building agentic and multi-agent systems. While foundational model knowledge is now common, Barth noted that developers are increasingly focused on tools, frameworks, and protocols for scaling agent-based applications. She emphasized the complexity of deploying such systems, particularly around navigating human-centric interfaces and minimizing latency in multi-agent communication.Barth highlighted AWS's support for developers through tools like Amazon Q CLI and the newly launched open-source Strands SDK, which AWS used internally to accelerate development cycles. Strands enables faster, flexible agentic system development, while services like Bedrock Agents offer a managed, enterprise-ready solution.Security was another key theme. Barth stressed that safety must be a “day one” priority, with built-in support for authentication, secure communication, and observability. She encouraged developers to leverage AWS's GenAI Innovation Center and active open-source communities to build robust, scalable, and secure agentic systems.Learn more from The New Stack about AWS' support for developers through tools that support multiple agents: Code in Your Native Tongue: Amazon Q Developer Goes Global AWS Launches Its Take on an Open Source AI Agents SDKAmazon's Bedrock Can Now 'Check' AI for Hallucinations Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

To meet this need, Dell Technologies has introduced Concept Astro, an AI-driven workload management solution that utilises agentic AI, digital twins, and automation to optimise IT operations and energy consumption. Concept Astro enables enterprises to forecast processing times, predict energy requirements, and prioritise workloads based on business needs, energy availability, and cost without disrupting operations. During a pilot collaboration with Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, Concept Astro helped researchers optimise AI-intensive workload scheduling, leading to a 20% cost reduction and a 32% decrease in emissions. The successful trial highlights how AI-powered scheduling can deliver tangible sustainability and efficiency improvements for data centres. Dell Technologies continues to invest in energy-efficient technologies that minimise operational costs while maximising business impact. By integrating AI-powered workload scheduling and improving infrastructure efficiency, enterprises can reduce energy consumption, enhance grid resilience, and drive sustainability across their operations. Speaking about Concept Astro, Alyson Freeman, Innovation, Sustainability, and ESG lead at Dell Technologies, said: "Rising AI workloads are expected to drive higher data centre energy use, costs, and emissions. Some experts even predict data centre energy consumption could double by 2030, placing added strain on already burdened power grids. As a result, reliable, resilient and affordable energy has become a top priority for data centre operations worldwide. One of our latest explorations, Concept Astro, uses agentic AI, digital twins, and automation to spur smarter decision making to improve IT operations and energy consumption. This capability is exciting but right now just a concept, with our engineers pushing the boundaries of what is possible to deliver at scale." As Dell Technologies continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in energy-efficient AI technologies, the company is committed to supporting businesses in Ireland and globally to enhance grid resilience, reduce operational costs, and drive sustainable progress.

As the primary school year drew to a close, Equinix, the world's digital infrastructure company, hosted 4th class students from Scoil Ghráinne CNS in Phibblestown for a behind-the-scenes tour of Equinix's DB3 data centre in Dublin. Seventeen students, along with their teachers, met senior Equinix leaders to learn how data centres work and the impact that they have on the students' daily lives. The education day gave the children the opportunity to walk inside the 'physical internet' and discover its far-reaching impact on their own lives, businesses, healthcare and more. The class also learned about Equinix's commitment to net zero and biodiversity. Among the initiatives discussed was Equinix's participation in Digital Infrastructure Ireland's Orchards in the Community project, which plants orchards for schools and other community organisations to encourage pollination. The children also learned about Equinix's onsite beehives and bee habitats. During the visit, the class worked in teams to design collages based on what they imagined the physical internet looks like. Later, Equinix team members took the schoolchildren and their teachers into the heart of the DB3 data centre for an exclusive tour. Warren Delaney, Ireland Operations Director, Equinix, said: "At Equinix, we are committed to educating the communities around us about our role. For these young people, it is eye-opening to walk inside a data centre and imagine the parts of their daily lives that our industry makes possible. For some, it may even spark an interest in a career in technology. Having started my own career as an apprentice electrician, I know that there are many options and pathways into this industry via our apprenticeship and internship programmes in Ireland. It was fantastic to observe the students so engaged and eager to learn." See more stories here.

Global fintech SumUp has launched SumUp Terminal, an all-in-one point of sale (POS) device that directly addresses the challenges faced by growing businesses. The device includes a card reader, POS, ordering system, and receipt printer, helping merchants manage orders, staff, inventory, and reporting in one place. This design allows staff to leave the sales counter behind, taking orders and payments directly on the shop floor or right at the table. In May this year, SumUp surveyed Irish SMEs and found that 25.5% of Irish businesses had made no key changes to their operations beyond raising prices, despite 38% stating that the current economic climate had negatively impacted their business. This highlights a concerning trend: many Irish businesses are falling behind in adopting innovative strategies to navigate growing economic uncertainty. The SumUp Terminal is a direct response to this challenge, underscoring the company's commitment to equipping merchants with tools tailored to today's evolving consumer landscape. Niall Mac an tSionnaigh, CEO of SumUp Ireland, said "At a time when many Irish businesses are feeling the pressure of rising rent, stock, and staffing costs - but are struggling to adapt - it's clear that practical, lean and accessible tech is more important than ever. The SumUp Terminal was built to meet that need, equipping merchants of all sizes with the tools to streamline operations and stay competitive in a rapidly changing environment." Key features and benefits for merchants using the SumUp Terminal include its all-in-one efficiency, allowing businesses to take card payments, manage orders, speed up checkouts, and print receipts or order tickets from a single device. Designed for durability and ease of use, it features an intuitive HD touchscreen and a long-lasting battery that supports staff throughout the entire workday. The Terminal also enables smarter operations by allowing the creation of custom staff profiles with role-based permissions and providing real-time sales reports to support informed business decisions. Irish merchants can simplify their bookkeeping by integrating popular accounting solutions such as Sage Accounting, Xero, and QuickBooks. Dual connectivity with built-in WiFi and free 4G mobile data ensures the device always connects to the strongest available network, keeping payments uninterrupted. To accelerate setup, Terminal uses its built-in camera to instantly digitise an entire product list from a single photo. This AI-driven feature means merchants can capture their handwritten or printed menu, and the device automatically creates an editable digital catalogue. This significantly reduces manual setup time, allowing merchants to then easily add descriptions, images, or new products. "We see countless merchants hit a growth ceiling where a simple card reader is no longer enough, but a traditional POS system feels too expensive and complex," said Tomer Sabag, Chief Hardware Officer at SumUp. "Terminal was built to be that perfect next step. It delivers the core operational power a growing business needs with the speed, ease-of-use, and affordability that are hallmarks of the SumUp ecosystem. It's designed to help our merchants scale in an easy and seamless fashion." SumUp will continue to enhance Terminal with free, automatic software updates. Upcoming features include barcode scanning, table management, and the ability for multiple Terminal devices to sync and operate together in the same venue. As an integral part of the SumUp ecosystem, the Terminal will also connect and sync seamlessly with SumUp POS systems - enabling streamlined, connected operations across devices and services.

Logicalis UK&I, a global technology service provider, today announces that it has set the foundation for John Paul Construction's international future with AI services. John Paul Construction (JPC) is one of Ireland's leading contractors with over 75 years' experience in delivering projects across a wide array of sectors. Currently the business operates in Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe with a reputation for integrity, professionalism, innovation and excellence. As a result of its business growth and international expansion, JPC had to address language barriers and translation issues within and across its multinational teams, client base and international supply chain. As part of this, it needed to be able to share and interpret critical information and documentation to support operational efficiency, staff productivity and project coordination. To ease the pressure on and enable seamless communication for JPC teams and external partners, Logicalis deployed an AI solution leveraging Microsoft Azure AI services and Copilot to deliver consistent and reliable translations for the business. This included the creation of a WebApp to allow employees to easily upload, manage, translate and distribute documents. Able to process 6 million characters per minute, comprehend more than 30 languages, and handle thousands of requests simultaneously, the solution is enabling the company to automate translation and overcome language barriers. In turn, this streamlines workflows and supports productivity across the 600-plus JPC team, allowing staff to prioritise more business-critical tasks. In terms of efficiency, these technologies prevent the need for manual translation, delivering more accurate translations and processing documents within 5 seconds on average. As well as productivity and efficiency, they also provide enhanced security and scalability for JPC. As a result, the company ensures compliance with strict data protection requirements. Furthermore, the solutions deployed by Logicalis optimise daily costs and resources, reducing subscription fees and providing AI translation services to more users across the organisation. Jim McDonnell, IT Manager, JPC, said: "The Logicalis team showcased how to seamlessly introduce AI into real-world applications, transforming complex integrations into straightforward and user-friendly processes. From the start, we were impressed with how the Logicalis team devised a very succinct plan, executed it flawlessly, and collaborated effectively with our team throughout the journey, resulting in a fantastic product and successful implementation. We look forward to engaging on future projects - underpinned by our shared principles of excellence, respect, and teamwork." Mairead Malone, Country Leader for Ireland, Logicalis UK& I, added: "John Paul Construction prides itself on going the extra mile and delivering projects of the highest quality. At Logicalis, we share that vision. For JPC, we are delivering technologies to eliminate language barriers, enable seamless communication and enhance collaboration among international teams. We also tailored these to support its overall business objectives, including the continued growth of the organisation. By simplifying the complex, we are helping to drive change and success in the construction sector." See more stories here.

Zack Kayser, Staff Software Engineer at cars.com, joins Elixir Wizards Sundi Myint and Charles Suggs to discuss how Cars.com adopted a server-driven UI (SDUI) architecture powered by Elixir and GraphQL to deliver consistent, updatable interfaces across web, iOS, and Android. We explore why SDUI matters for feature velocity, how a mature design system and schema planning make it feasible, and what it takes, culturally and technically, to move UI logic from client code into a unified backend. Key topics discussed in this episode: SDUI fundamentals and how it differs from traditional server-side rendering GraphQL as the single source of truth for UI components and layouts Defining abstract UI components on the server to eliminate duplicate logic Leveraging a robust design system as the foundation for SDUI success API-first development and cross-team coordination for schema changes Mock data strategies for early UI feedback without breaking clients Handling breaking changes and hot-fix deployments via server-side updates Enabling flexible layouts and A/B testing through server-controlled ordering Balancing server-driven vs. client-managed UI Iterative SDUI rollout versus “big-bang” migrations in large codebases Using type specs and Dialyxir for clear cross-team communication Integration testing at the GraphQL layer to catch UI regressions early Quality engineering's role in validating server-driven interfaces Production rollback strategies across web and native platforms Considerations for greenfield projects adopting SDUI from day one Zack and Ethan's upcoming Instrumenting Elixir Apps book Links mentioned: https://cars.com https://github.com/absinthe-graphql/absinthe Telemetry & Observability for Elixir Apps Ep: https://youtu.be/1V2xEPqqCso https://www.phoenixframework.org/blog/phoenix-liveview-1.0-released https://hexdocs.pm/phoenixliveview/assigns-eex.html https://graphql.org/ https://tailwindcss.com/ https://github.com/jeremyjh/dialyxir https://github.com/rrrene/credo GraphQL Schema https://graphql.org/learn/schema/ SwiftUI https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/  Kotlin https://kotlinlang.org/ https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/a-deep-dive-into-airbnbs-server-driven-ui-system-842244c5f5 Zack's Twitter: https://x.com/kayserzl/ Zack's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zack-kayser-93b96b88  Special Guest: Zack Kayser.

In this episode of The New Stack Agents, Andrew Lee, co-founder of Shortwave and Firebase, discusses the evolution of his Gmail-centric email client into an AI-first platform. Initially launched in 2020 with traditional improvements like better threading and search, Shortwave pivoted to agentic AI after the rise of large language models (LLMs). Early features like summarization and translation garnered hype but lacked deep utility. However, as models improved in 2023—especially Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.5—Shortwave leaned heavily into tool-calling agents that could execute complex, multi-step tasks autonomously. Lee notes Anthropic's lead in this area, especially in chaining tools intelligently, unlike earlier models from OpenAI. Still, challenges remain with managing large numbers of tools without breaking model reasoning. Looking ahead, Lee envisions AI that can take proactive actions—like responding to emails—and dynamically generate interfaces tailored to tasks in real-time. This shift could fundamentally reshape how productivity apps work, with Shortwave aiming to be at the forefront of that transformation.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights of the power AI at scale:Why Streaming Is the Power Grid for AI-Native Data PlatformsCompanies Must Embrace BeSpoke AI Designed for IT WorkflowsJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Helsinki's new Nature Conservation Area Programme will protect a total of more than 100 new land and sea areas across the city. The programme will double the protected area in land areas and increase it by tenfold in marine areas. In Helsinki, nature is a part of everyday life - and always close by. Almost 40 percent of the city's land area is covered by various types of green areas, from forests and meadows to urban parks, making Helsinki an exceptionally green capital. In addition, the sea is everywhere: more than two-thirds of Helsinki's total area comprises the sea, and the city has over 300 islands. Helsinki has over 300 islands The City of Helsinki's new Nature Conservation Area Programme 2025-2038 was approved on 23 June 2025 and includes more than 100 new land and inland water areas to protect the city's significant nature values. In addition to safeguarding the diversity of species and habitats, the nature conservation areas ensure the preservation of recreational and hiking opportunities for residents. The new Nature Conservation Area Programme includes 98 new land and 22 new marine areas throughout the city to be protected by 2038. This will increase the area of ??protected areas to approximately 10 percent of both Helsinki's land and sea areas, meaning the programme will double the protected area in land areas and increase it by tenfold in marine areas. "Helsinki is a green and maritime city, so we want to protect our green, marine and recreational areas for our residents also in the future. Our goal is for nature reserves to offer nature experiences to as many people as possible, and we plan to invest increasingly in nature reserve routes and interesting nature observation sites," says Miira Riipinen, Director General of Environment Services at the City of Helsinki. With the new Nature Conservation Area Programme, Helsinki as a city will voluntarily implement the country-specific target of the EU's biodiversity strategy, according to which one third of the targeted 30% of protected land and sea areas will be strictly protected.

Partsol, the US-founded AI firm, has announced plans to create at least 25 new highly-skilled jobs in Ireland as it accelerates international expansion from its global headquarters in Dublin. The announcement reflects the company's long-term commitment to Ireland and will increase Partsol's present headcount in Ireland to around 35. Partsol has already raised $28.6 million (€25.2 million) in funding and expects to double that by the end of 2025. The firm's Cognitive AI platform ATAI is designed for high-stakes industries such as healthcare, law, accounting and financial services, where accuracy is paramount and hallucinations are unacceptable. ATAI is engineered with a unique "AI Stem Cells" framework grounded in verifiable truth, drawing on four scientific pillars to ensure outputs are rooted in factual evidence, not probabilistic guesswork. Commenting on his firm's hiring plans, CEO of Partsol Dr. Darryl Williams said: "We're investing in Irish talent because we believe the most important breakthroughs in AI will come from teams that are both technically brilliant and ethically grounded. "The calibre of expertise here is world-class, and it gives us the foundation to build not just a product, but a company that leads globally from Ireland. This is only the beginning of our hiring plans and we intend to expand next year too. The decision to relocate from the US to Ireland earlier this year reflects a deeper and more strategic bet on Ireland's future, said Dr. Williams. "Ireland offers a rare combination of regulatory clarity, scientific integrity and entrepreneurial energy. For a company like Partsol, building the future of AI, that's not just attractive - it's essential. "Where others see regulation as a constraint, we see it as an accelerant. Ireland's leadership on AI and data policy gives us the confidence to innovate boldly, knowing we're building within a framework that prioritises safety, transparency and long-term trust. "The future of AI shouldn't be left to chance or unchecked experimentation. It should be built with intention, in places that value both innovation and responsibility. That's why we're proud to call Ireland home," he said. See more stories here.

This weeks episode was born out of a question that I receive from an old friend. Will the employed NIL Players still get a scholarship, medical r have to pay their way and pay taxes? Which made me think and feel that I'm a horrible instructor. If I'm not getting my listeners to understand the very basics of NIL and Rev-sharing. They are two different pools of money and are earned completely differently by the athletes. I go on to explain the difference between the two and they get. I also, try to dispel a lot of mis information try to get you to understand the plain hard facts and other peoples biases, opinions and how they want thing to be. I take it down to the nitty gritty of the ABC's of how to the athletes are make money and how this classify them.

KINTO Join, Ireland's leading sustainable commuting solution, have announced new survey findings from its 'Ireland on the Move' Report which found that 35% of commuters in Ireland are looking for a new job to have better commuting options. This increases to 42% among 18-34-year-olds. The research - based on a survey of 1,000 Irish commuters comprising university students and employees - found that 65% consider commuting options when selecting a new job. Furthermore, the same proportion (65%) are more likely to stay in a job with more favourable commuting options, whilst some 68% would refuse a job if the commute was too long. The research also seemed to suggest that the option to go into the office or work from home is waning, with more than half (51%) of respondents feeling under pressure to travel into the office for work. With the commute having a significant influence on decision-making when considering and choosing an employer, it is perhaps unsurprising that 71% of commuters would prioritise employers or universities providing a free or low-cost shuttle bus service. To promote alternatives to solo driving, 45% of respondents said universities and employers should contribute to public transport costs. Meanwhile, 36% think they should offer a carpooling programme or app, with a similar proportion (35%)saying they should promote cycling through schemes such as Bike to Work. In terms of the overall commuting experience, some 62% of commuters agree that workplaces and universities should be more involved in supporting same and 39% believe employers and educational institutions have a responsibility to meet sustainability goals and regulations. However, just over a quarter (26%) of commuters believe their workplaces or universities are doing a good job at meeting sustainability goals and regulations. As for taking an active role, more than a third (36%) of commuters believe employersand universities should incentivise sustainable travel. In terms of specific incentives which would encourage people to change their means of commuting to a more communal or sustainable method, almost half (46%) of respondents cited more flexible working-hours. The other top incentives werefound to be tax reduction schemes (37%), additional time off work (36%), reward points programmes (29%), and free coffee and treats (29%). Patrizia Niehaus, CEO, KINTO Join Ltd, commented: "Commuters in Ireland clearly care about how they travel to work, with many making career decisions with this in mind. However, they lack choice and support. In turn, organisations are potentially missing out on the best talent and undermining their own sustainability objectives. "They might not realise it yet, but business leaders have the power to facilitate more sustainable journeys for both their people and their companies. From shuttle buses to staff rewards, these micro-level actions can have macro-level impact." See more stories here.

The level of optimism among Irish medium-sized firms has taken a sharp fall, with an 18% contraction in the last quarter, according to the latest Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR). The IBR, which provides insights into the attitudes of 10,000 mid-market businesses across 32 economies, revealed that while 63% of companies surveyed in Ireland are optimistic about the outlook for the economy over the next twelve months, this stands in sharp contrast to the Q1 findings where 81% of businesses surveyed stated a higher level of confidence. The research, carried out across April and May, shows that the change in mood has swept through Irish mid-market firms' view of their performance over the next year, with a 25% nosedive in predicted profitability (Q1: 80% vs Q2: 55%), a 9% decline in expected revenues (Q1: 77% vs Q2: 68%); and a 10% spike in the expectation of reduced demand (Q1: 17% vs Q2: 27%). International tariff disputes are a likely factor in the changing mood of Irish medium-sized enterprises, with almost double the level of concern among these companies (Q2: 26% vs Q1: 16%) that geopolitical disruption would be a key constraint on their business. This is starkly illustrated in the sharp fall in the percentage of Irish mid-market firms expecting an increase in revenue from non-domestic markets over the next 12 months, contracting from 40% in Q4 2024 to just 16% in Q2 2025. While the increase in concern about geopolitical disruption is significant, it is still short of the overall level of concern across the Eurozone, which stands at 44%, according to the research. The global uncertainty is similarly reflected in Grant Thornton's US CFO survey, also out this week, which reports that 46% of US CFOs surveyed are pessimistic about the U.S. economy, with 46% adjusting their supply chains to reduce the impact of tariffs. The worsening outlook in Ireland has had a knock-on effect across a range of areas, with a 10% fall (Q1: 52% vs Q2: 42%) in the amount of Irish medium-sized firms planning to invest in sustainability initiatives. This is compounding other challenges in the economy, where Irish mid-market firms are already experiencing a range of issues. For example, almost double (Q1: 27% vs Q2: 50%) the number of firms predict their labour costs will rise over the next twelve months. Similarly, there was an 18% spike (Q1: 41% vs Q2: 59%) in the percentage of companies that saw the availability of skilled workers as a key constraint on their business. Commenting on the latest International Business Report, Grant Thornton Head of Industry, Martin Shanahan, said: "Medium-sized firms, a key component of the economy, are navigating a period of global uncertainty with resilience and adaptability. While some companies are reassessing their growth forecasts, this reflects a thoughtful and strategic response to evolving global dynamics rather than a lack of ambition. Geopolitical shifts and economic pressures are prompting businesses to think more critically about where and how they invest, especially in key areas like sustainability. These challenges, including labour costs and talent shortages, are not new - but Irish mid-market firms have consistently shown their ability to innovate and adapt. The findings echo those of the Grant Thornton US CFO survey released this week, which shows an increase in pessimism amongst US CFOs earlier in the year, with companies taking proactive steps to deal with tariff and economic uncertainty in areas like pricing strategies; supply chain; cost containment and financial planning. Diversification and innovation remain powerful tools for progress. The business success stories of the future will be those companies that embrace change, invest wisely, and plant the seeds today for a more vibrant, resilient economy."

Irish interior living space is being radically redefined by the 'Millennial' generation, who are opting for oversized bean bag sofas and chairs over conventional furniture - whilst moving their living room configurations a number of times each year. Just under a quarter of Irish youngsters aged between 29 and 44 (23%) now own a bean bag item as an alternative to an armchair or recliner, according to research from Big Bertha Original. The survey, conducted amongst 1,000 Irish residents, revealed that there's a spike in bean bag popularity amongst the age range, higher than any other bracket. Bean bag ownership across the Ireland sits at 20% today, compared to just 11% in 2004. In addition, 46% of Millennials will rearrange their living room furniture at least twice a year and 33% of them will change their furniture depending on the season of the year. The Big Bertha Original results point towards a renaissance in bean bag furniture, which is proving to be one of the most unlikely living room accessories of the year so far. Big Bertha Original's Buyer Hannah Blakey said: "Our survey results suggest that interior living spaces are being redefined and reimagined by a younger generation in Ireland. "They have broad horizons when it comes to style and comfort in their homes, and it is encouraging to see that our bean bag sofas, chairs and cushions are an increasingly prominent part of their vision." Big Bertha Original products are not only easily portable and affordable, but they're deceptively comfortable too, moulding to the body to deliver optimum physical support. This helps to ease muscle and joint strain and ensures maximum comfort. Also, modern bean bag furniture maintains its shape due to premium manufacturing processes and robust coverings, available in a wide range of styles and fabrics. Hannah added: "Our bean bag products offer so many benefits, most obviously in their price point, as one of our highback chairs cost as little as £59.50, compared to up to twice that amount for a conventional alternative from a High Street furniture shop." "They come in various shapes, sizes and colours, making them extremely versatile pieces of furniture that can complement any room. What's more, they can be lifted and moved easily, making the home a far more interactive living space than ever. "Overall, the combination of comfort, versatility, affordability, and accessibility makes bean bags an attractive choice, particularly for renters looking to enhance their living spaces with function and fashion at a fraction of the cost."
