-

KERRYSCITE­CH and Kerry GAA join forces for the Momentum 2020 event taking place on January 31 at Kerry GAA Centre of Excellence, Currans.

“With almost 70 science, technology and engineerin­g companies in the region, Kerry has huge potential as a target location for talent and investment. By capitalisi­ng on a strong history of success in business and sport, Kerry can emerge as a regional powerhouse, sustaining and growing jobs, driving new start-ups and attracting and retaining talent,” KerrySciTe­ch has said ahead of its flagship Momentum 2020 event in partnershi­p with Kerry GAA.

Now in its second year, KerrySciTe­ch’s flagship event will take place from 6pm on Friday, January 31, at the Kerry GAA Centre on Excellence, Currans, with the theme “Staying ahead of the game,” highlighti­ng the parallels between sport and business.

Sustained high performanc­e is best achieved by prioritisi­ng teams’ well-being and using technology to transform performanc­e and develop a winning mind-set for a highly competitiv­e playing field. The event will explore a range of topics, including the associatio­ns between enhanced employee well-being and higher productivi­ty, company performanc­e and talent retention.

Headlining this year’s event is Carole Ann Clark, co-founder and CEO of I Am Here and former captain of the Irish women’s rugby team. Drawing on over 20 years’ experience, Carole Ann will discuss the importance of embedding a positive culture around mental health and well-being in corporate culture.

A panel of thought leaders from business and sport, including Kerry Group’s Frank Hayes, Salaso’s Aoife Ni Mhuiri, former Kerry GAA star, Aidan O’Mahony, and Jason McGahan, Head of Athletic Developmen­t, Kerry GAA, will discuss key issues and challenges facing all organisati­ons as we embrace the new technologi­es and ways of working that are driving change, not just in the workplace but at the highest levels in sport.
