He argues these areas already have world-class assets: top universities, booming med-tech, and vast renewable energy potential—but they’re stifled by outdated systems and delays. With projects like Galway’s Ring Road stuck in bureaucracy, Cowen calls for bold reforms and direct investment in green manufacturing to unlock their full potential.
