Technology Ireland ICT Skillnet is delighted to announce that we are sponsoring the Excellence in Talent Development award at the upcoming Ibec Technology Ireland Industry Awards 2025.
The black-tie ceremony will take place on 21 November 2025, at the Round Room in the Mansion House, Dublin, celebrating exceptional achievements across Ireland’s technology sector.
The Excellence in Talent Development award, open to both indigenous and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) technology companies, recognises organisations that demonstrate outstanding commitment to the continuous professional and personal development of their people. This includes innovative staff-development strategies, leadership development, and unique initiatives that cultivate talent, especially from SMEs and companies focused on HR development.
The award was presented to Liberty IT 12 months ago, whose pioneering efforts in nurturing employee growth and fostering a culture of continuous learning set a powerful benchmark for the industry. You can read more about their achievements in our 2024 winner announcement.
