Jack Dorsey, creator, founder and chairman of Twitter (pictured); Niklas Zennstrom, founder of Skype; and Michael Breidenbruecker, founder of Last.fm will attend a conference in Dublin in late October. The conference, simply known as Founders, is the work of a group of young European tech company founders and will be an invite only event, which will be attended by 100 high profile attendees. Keynote speakers include Dr. Justin Lin, chief economist of the World Bank, and Jerzy Buzek, President of the European Parliament. The CEOs of the IDA and Enterprise Ireland will present to the attendees. An Taoiseach, Brian Cowen T.D., will also address the group.
Some Irish company founders are on the organising committee, including Eamonn Fallon (Daft Media), Dylan Collins (Jolt Online) and Iain MacDonald (Weedle). Barry O’Leary, CEO IDA Ireland, said, “This is an excellent forum for IDA to engage with the CEOs of many of the world’s fastest growing technology companies and to share insights on future trends.” It may also be a good opportunity to show the founders of these tech giants all the affordable, available office space in Dublin.
