The panel will include leaders from distant Irish businesses, the public and non-profit sectors. Enterprise Ireland-backed Grow Remote said such a “collaborative and cross-sectoral approach” was needed to “identify the full potential for people to work remotely for profit and desire.”

When Grow Remote recruited its first employee six months ago, it has been promoting more flexible work options for many years, and now has more than 60 remote work locations across Ireland. These chapters enable local communities to develop remote job training programs developed by Grow Remote in collaboration with the Laois-Ofali Education and Training Board, IDA Ireland and Solas.
