Your Country, Your Call is an Irish competition that promises to ignite imaginations and inspire thinking!
The goal is to pick two truly transformational proposals that, when implemented, could secure prosperity and jobs for Ireland. Proposals that could allow businesses to grow, employment to be created and prosperity to flourish.
There will be two competition winners and each will receive €100,000. A development fund of up to €500,000 is committed for the implementation of each of the winning proposals.
Your Country, Your Call is about helping to create sustainable employment and prosperity, whilst at the same time generating hope, confidence, and positive thinking.
