M20 is a key catalyst for economic development
The M20 is a key catalyst for economic development in the Cork, Limerick, wider Southern region and the Atlantic Corridor as a whole.
As Ireland’s second largest city region and second largest economic engine, Cork is a thriving and expanding hub of economic, industrial, research and business development activities. Indeed, over the last 25 years, Cork has consistently attracted many of the world’s largest companies to locate within the region and is now home to global market leaders in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, ICT, biotechnology, professional services and international financial services. The potential of the region and its ability to grow and develop is centred on the ability of the region to identify the key factors that will promote growth and also the ability to identify those that have the potential to hinder long term growth and attractiveness.
