Animation Ireland

Animation Ireland is the trade association for Ireland's animation industry. Originally sponsored by Enterprise Ireland, Animation Ireland is an umbrella brand, beneath which Ireland's animation companies organise and collaborate for the international promotion of their collective interests. Animation Ireland's personnel advise members on international tradeshows and festivals and introduce animation companies to potential partners.[1] Although functioning from 2006, in 2015 Animation Ireland received funding from the Irish Film Board, obtained an independent chairperson and undertook a greater role in structuring the animation industry in Ireland.[2] Animation Ireland's stated objective is, "to establish Ireland as a creative centre for content and technology by focusing on growth, developing an innovation culture and creating competitive advantage for members."[3]
