19,000 Irish start-ups in 2005

Yesterday's Sunday Business Post carried a useful pull-out called 'New to Market' aimed at business start-ups. Among the section on VC, tax, financing, employment law and compliance were interesting tidbits of information such as -

  • Over 100,000 jobs were created in 2004 via entrepreneurial activity

  • A total of 19,000 companies will be incorporated this year compared with 13,700 in 2002
  • The future lies in knowledge-based services

I find the last point the most reassuring as we've long since 'bet the farm' on it.
