Thank you, Belfast, for helping our Trailblazer roadshow finish on such a high!
This year marked the first time we brought the Trailblazer programme, delivered in partnership with HSBC Commercial Banking, to Northern Ireland - and what an incredible debut it was, with some of the region’s most innovative companies in one room.
We were especially privileged to hear from Brendan Mooney, CEO of Kainos, one of Northern Ireland’s most successful technology companies. With 25 years of leadership experience, Brendan shared his approach to building, growing, and thriving through decades of growth and change.
