White Paper on Enterprise Implementation Plan 2023-2024

The White Paper on Enterprise was published in December 2022. It sets out the Government’s medium- to long-term ambitions for a vibrant, resilient, regionally balanced, and sustainable economy made up of a diversified mix of leading global companies, internationally competitive Irish enterprises, and thriving local businesses. Its vision is to ensure that an Irish-based enterprise succeeds through a competitive advantage founded on sustainability, innovation, and productivity, delivering rewarding jobs and livelihoods.
The development of the White Paper was led by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and was designed as an open process, informed by external stakeholder perspectives, and by international best practices. The Government’s approach to enterprise policy in the period to 2030, articulated in the White Paper, is one of adaption rather than an abrupt departure from the consistent and successful approach Ireland has pursued for decades. It takes account of global and EU-level policy developments, while also responding to national opportunities and challenges.
