☘️💻 Spotlighting Innovation from Ireland ☘️💻 Ireland continues to lead the charge in innovation, with another two remarkable startups breaking new ground in space technology and sustainable data solutions. Irish startup NEXALUS is revolutionising how data centres manage heat and energy. Its innovative liquid-cooling system not only allows for more servers to be packed into smaller spaces - saving on real estate and construction costs - but also turns waste heat into a potentially valuable resource. Nexalus’s solution offers another significant advantage: reduced water usage, which is crucial for data centres that typically rely heavily on air conditioning systems. This breakthrough positions Nexalus as a game-changer in sustainability for tech infrastructure.

The company’s name, “Réaltra” (Irish for "galaxy"), reflects its ambitious vision of creating low-cost, innovative electronic systems for space applications. This ESA partnership reinforces Réaltra’s role as a key player in the rapidly evolving space tech sector.

In Ireland, January 6th is known as Nollaig na mBan (pronunced Null-ig na Mon), which can be translated from Irish as "Women's Christmas," where Irish women traditionally got together to have a celebration with their friends. It seems fitting to share a quote from Rosie Keane, Consul General of Ireland at the Embassy of Ireland, Australia & Consulate General of Ireland (New South Wales) highlighting the powerful influence of Irish women abroad on the diaspora. Although Ireland’s population is just 7 million, the global Irish diaspora spans 70 million, including trailblazing women who are shaping the future of business and paving the way for others to follow.   #EnterpriseIreland #GlobalAmbition #GenderBalance #WomenInBusiness #DiversityAndInclusion #LevelProject
