Moreover, over three focused days in Dublin, global leaders from finance, policy, and culture converged not merely to discuss the future but to build it. The consensus was clear: innovation and impact are not opposites, but allies. Therefore, with government partners enabling policy clarity, banks and limited partners anchoring patient capital, and founders delivering measurable outcomes, Ireland is proving that integrity and innovation scale together.

As Kieran McLoughlin, Managing Partner of Venturewave Capital, framed the discussion: “Ignore the headlines and look at the trend lines, and the trend lines are incredibly positive.”

1. The Coalition of the Serious: A New Standard for Capital

The future of impact investing requires a global coalition of serious actors committed to tangible results. Indeed, this “coalition of the serious”—investors, entrepreneurs, cultural icons, scientists, and policymakers defines the Venturewave ecosystem.

The Impact Ireland Convention demonstrated a critical alignment between policy and finance. For example, discussions at Iveagh House, home of Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs, focused on the pragmatic: regulation as an enabler, creating the investable certainty required for long-term commitments.

“Be open, be serious… and move ahead of the times, if you can.”

— Enda Kenny, Former Taoiseach and Chair of the GAC

As a result, this alignment is attracting significant institutional capital. A pivotal moment was Bank of America’s announcement of its expanded commitment to the Impact Ireland Fund. This signaled market confidence in this rigorous approach.

“As Edna [Kenny] said, we were a founding investor… and this year, we almost doubled that investment in the fund.”

— Paul M. Donofrio, Vice Chair of Bank of America

Impact is Infrastructure

Crucially, the coalition agreed that we must treat impact as infrastructure—the rails on which capital should run. This requires governance and transparent markets. Platforms like Venturebeam (a regulated digital marketplace for private markets) facilitate this transparency.

Central to this infrastructure is the Venture Impact Score (VIS). The VIS served as the core measurement system throughout the convention. Furthermore, it provides a common language for due diligence, reporting, and course correction. It ensures that we measure impact, rather than just promising it.

2. Innovation with Integrity: The Ethics of AI and Deep Tech

Hype and spectacle often dominate the conversation around Artificial Intelligence. However, the GAC championed a more rigorous perspective. We must evaluate AI based on transparency, explainability, and outcomes, particularly in mission-critical sectors.

“A lot of money has been spent [on AI]… there really hasn’t been much of return on it in terms of economics.”

— Eileen Murray, Former Co-CEO of Bridgewater Associates

“I’m trying to figure out how AI plants lettuce.”

— Ron O’Hanley, CEO of State Street

Consequently, the focus is shifting towards accountable AI. Portfolio companies like A-Eye Rev (a sovereign AI operating system for regulated sectors) and Medihive (digital-health infrastructure with built-in clinical governance) exemplify this shift. These are not generalized tools, but specific applications designed for auditability and control.

Building Boldly, Staying Ethical

The fireside chat with Patrick Collison, co-founder of Stripe, captured the ethos of responsible innovation. Collison, along with his brother John, received the Impact Ireland Award 2025.

Collison’s lessons from scaling Stripe into global infrastructure emphasized that culture must expand faster than headcount. Additionally, he advocated for thinking in systems: “build roads, not just cars”—platforms that enable others to amplify value.

On Ireland’s opportunity, Collison stressed that regulatory clarity is already an advantage. The next step is to maintain integrity as a national asset—the brand that convinces founders and LPs that Ireland is the right place to build responsibly. Finally, he also called for investment in “patient science” and foundational education.

“I think the first thing would be to create a truly world class university in Ireland…”

— Patrick Collison, Co-founder, Stripe

3. Systems-Level Change: The Portfolio in Action

Venturewave’s philosophy is to back systems-level change, not just point solutions. In line with this, the founders presenting at the Royal Irish Academy of Music demonstrated impact in motion across critical sectors. (View our full portfolio here).

• Sustainable Infrastructure: XOCEAN’s autonomous ocean-data fleets are critical for supporting offshore wind and marine stewardship while reducing emissions.
• Human Capital & Safety: PepTalk focuses on team performance and safety culture, while viAct uses computer vision to make industrial sites safer in real time.
• Education at Scale: iSchool is improving youth employability across Africa and MENA through locally adapted STEM and coding curricula.

Science and Scale

A key highlight was the unveiling of Oath, a regenerative agriculture project that The Edge, Anne Finucane, and Dr. Jack Gilbert introduced. In partnership with the Rwandan Sovereign Fund, Oath combines microbial science and AI to restore soil health and improve food security. Thus, it emphasizes practical science with global implications.

“…this biology is absolutely crucial to planetary health.”

— The Edge

4. The Global Crossroads: Building Bridges Beyond Borders

Ireland’s strategic advantage lies in its position as a rules-based, open economy that collaborates effectively. Essentially, it serves as an essential global crossroads connecting serious capital and visionary leaders across the US, Europe, the Gulf, and Asia.

“Ireland serves as an important transatlantic bridge between the US and Europe… creating enormous opportunities…”

— Paul M. Donofrio, Bank of America

The panel discussed a key initiative: the Ireland Gulf Capital Corridor. Chaired by Kevin Holliday (Venturebeam) and featuring H.E. Mohammed Al Shamsi, Dr. Tayeb Kamali, and Ahmad Younis, the discussion focused on a shared agenda. It covered responsible AI, education partnerships, and long-term, transparent capital.

“…linking those Irish innovation and human capital. With the Gulf scale and ambition… we can really deliver measurable impact…”

— Kevin Holliday, CEO EMEA, Venturebeam

Furthermore, the participants reframed the power of the Irish diaspora not as nostalgia, but as a living commercial system connecting capital and talent globally.

“…doors have opened for us no matter where we are in the world, because there’s always an Irishman or Irish woman somewhere in the mix…”

— Adam Clayton, U2

5. Culture Multiplies Capital

Progress is cultural, financial, and technological. Therefore, to achieve lasting results, systems must inspire people, not just fund projects.

Over lunch, Adam Clayton of U2 provided a perspective beyond statistics. He discussed the economics of modern culture and the necessity of rewarding originality rather than commoditizing it. Regarding AI, his caution was precise: technology should enhance human potential, not erase it.

In addition, Clayton highlighted Ireland’s cultural confidence, adaptability, and aversion to grandstanding as key assets. This cultural foundation sets the tone for the kind of growth society will accept, ultimately helping Ireland demonstrate what conscience-driven innovation looks like in practice.

The Future of Impact Investing Ireland: Beyond Relevance to Capacity

The GAC and Impact Ireland Convention ultimately showed that Ireland is no longer just hosting the conversation on impact—it’s shaping it. As Micheál Martin, Taoiseach, noted, the Future Ireland Fund is a tangible expression of intergenerational responsibility, signaling a national commitment to sustainability.

In summary, Ireland’s challenge is no longer relevance; it’s capacity.

The alignment between policy, capital, and creativity is real and growing. For Venturewave, that momentum carries a clear responsibility. It is to keep proving that disciplined innovation and measurable impact can move in step.

At Venturewave, the commitment remains clear: support exceptional founders solving real problems. Measure what truly matters. Scale what works with clarity, humility, and rigour. The next phase isn’t just about scale; it’s about maintaining high standards. Indeed, Dublin demonstrated that the world is ready to build them together.

The Impact Ireland Convention convenes investors, founders and policymakers from five continents to advance outcomes-driven investment aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Venturewave’s Impact Ireland Funds back companies across clean energy, health, agri-food, education and sustainable finance, using the Venture Impact Score (VIS) to track measurable progress.

Last year’s Impact Ireland Award went to former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the first U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, at Dublin’s Mansion House. The honour recognised decades of climate leadership from signing the Paris Agreement on behalf of the United States in 2015 to mobilising public-private coalitions for the net-zero transition. In his remarks, Kerry warned that climate impacts are arriving “bigger, faster, more destructive” than predicted and stressed that the transition cannot succeed without private capital. These themes set the tone for this year’s focus on standards, accountability, and intelligent capital.

About the Impact Ireland Award. The award recognises leaders who prove that enterprise can scale positive outcomes alongside financial returns. Honourees embody responsible innovation, long-term stewardship, and a distinctive contribution to Ireland’s technology story, as evidenced by the Venture Impact Score (VIS).

In the coming weeks, we will share highlights from this year’s programme spanning AI & impact, energy security & affordability, and standards-led governance. To revisit previous recipients and remarks, see the Impact Ireland Award archive, and browse sessions from the Impact Ireland Convention.

In this conversation from Venturewave’s Global Advisory Council, Alan Foy joins Anne Finucane (former Vice Chair, Bank of America) and The Edge of U2 to explore the role of creativity, governance and accountability in building a global standard for impact. The discussion looks beyond slogans to what actually drives measurable outcomes, clear objectives, transparent reporting and alignment between founders, investors and stakeholders.

The speakers reflect on the moral responsibility of capital, the next generation’s expectations of how wealth should be stewarded, and why rigorous impact measurement frameworks are essential if we are to move from good intentions to real-world results. They also consider how cross-border collaboration and technology can accelerate positive change while respecting local context. It is a concise statement of

Venturewave’s belief is that impact and performance reinforce one another when discipline meets imagination.

Why this conversation matters

Creativity within discipline: When imagination operates inside clear frameworks, it generates lasting and measurable impact.

Proof over promise: Real impact demands evidence with defined goals, credible data, and transparent reporting.

Shared purpose: The strongest results arise when founders and investors align their values and objectives from the outset.

Collaborative scale: Cross-border partnerships and sector collaboration are vital to expand solutions responsibly and sustain momentum.

Impact Frontiers: Capital as a Catalyst – Beyond Wealth, Beyond Borders

Earlier this month, Venturewave Group had the privilege of co-hosting the Impact Frontiers Summit at Raffles Sentosa, Singapore – a purpose-driven, invitation-only gathering of family offices, institutional allocators, and high-impact innovators from across Asia and the Gulf. Indeed, the Impact Frontiers Summit | Venturewave & Venturebeam Global Impact brought together key players in the industry.

Led by Venturewave Capital and Venturebeam, the Summit marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of global private capital — shifting away from narrative-driven ESG and toward rigorous, measurable, cross-border impact.

We were especially honoured to welcome Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore, as Guest of Honour. In a keynote that captured the spirit of the moment, President Tharman spoke about Singapore’s role as a trusted financial hub, bridging the East and West, and challenged investors to move beyond short-term thinking and transactional models. His call to action: embrace blended finance, prioritise regional collaboration, and direct capital toward systemic solutions in energy, health, food systems, and climate. The President’s words were aligned with the goals of the Impact Frontiers Summit | Venturebeam & Venturewave Global Impact.

The Summit in Focus: Five Defining Themes

• Cross-Border Co-Investment: Investors across the MENA–Asia corridor are actively building new syndication pathways, navigating legal, cultural, and governance complexities while leveraging proximity and shared purpose.
• Direct Investing & GP–FO Collaboration: The traditional fund model is evolving. Leading family offices are now prioritising nimble, conviction-led partnerships with GPs who can co-design strategy, syndicate transparently, and align on values.
• Impact with Discipline: Impact is no longer a niche or rhetorical concept. Across sectors, from digital health to fintech to regenerative agriculture — investors are demanding auditable, intentional frameworks.
• Frontier Technologies: Amidst global hype cycles, investors are drilling down on real AI applications, including climate adaptation, food security, and inclusive finance.
• Systems-Level Thinking: Scalable capital must be paired with mission clarity and execution edge.

Fireside: “From Narrative to Discipline”

A highlight of the day was the conversation between Alan Foy, Founder & Chairman of Venturewave Capital and Chairman of Venturebeam, and Meghan Morris, Chief Correspondent at Business Insider. The discussion at the Impact Frontiers Summit | Venturewave & Venturebeam Global Impact was rich with insights.

Together, they unpacked how the future of venture impact lies not in well-meaning storytelling, but in institutional-grade frameworks and KPI-linked governance. Key reflections:

• Impact must be designed in, not retrofitted.
• LP expectations are rising, and capital is now being deployed with scrutiny around alignment and delivery.
• Measurement is maturing, and firms without audit-ready metrics risk losing investor confidence.
• Impact is mainstream, not a vertical. It spans core sectors — and the investors who get this are shaping the future.

Why It Matters

At Venturewave, we believe the next decade belongs to aligned capital — capital that is transparent, platform-enabled, cross-border, and outcomes-driven. Venturebeam exists to be the infrastructure layer that connects these forces, furthering the mission of the Impact Frontiers Summit | Venturewave & Venturebeam Global Impact.

Our Managing Partners Alan Foy, Kieran McLoughlin and Brian Martin have just completed a high-energy week across Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai with the Venturewave Capital team — and one thing is clear: the intersection of capital, innovation, and AI between Ireland and the Gulf is becoming a serious force for global scale, through Venturewave’s Ireland and Gulf collaboration.

We kicked off at the Qatar Economic Forum, where the world’s attention turned to growth, geopolitics, and generational change. On the sidelines, we hosted a private dinner celebrating the deepening ties between Ireland and Qatar, joined by H.E. Ambassador Alison Milton and Lord Iveagh Edward Guinness. It was a memorable evening of shared values, long-term vision, and new relationships. We were joined by some key members of the Irish diaspora active in Qatar, including Terry Kehoe, Sean McEllin and Michael Ryan.  We also enjoyed meeting H.E. Ahmad Mohammed Al Sayed, who is proactively promoting links between Ireland and Qatar from a foreign trade and investment perspective, and Yousuf Mohamed Al Jaida, who is leading efforts to ensure that the Qatar Financial Centre attracts foreign investors to the region.

In Abu Dhabi, with support from the Venturewave team, we were welcomed at the Irish Ambassador’s Residence to discuss the growing alignment between Ireland and the UAE, especially in tech, venture, and AI-driven innovation. With shared ambition around purpose-led investment, the potential is enormous. Shout out to Andrew Jackson, Louise Bermingham for their continued work in UAE, to H.E. Saeed Muhammad Ali Al Shamsi who did so much for Ireland-UAE relations, Sheikh Fahim who is building links between Sharjah and Ireland’s enterprise ecosystems and also to Jean Fares who is now also doing great work to bring Ireland and UAE investors together at Investopia in Dublin. We also had an excellent trip to Hub71 with Ahmad Ali Alwan. More to come on this! The Venturewave Ireland connection with the Gulf is evident in these meetings.

We wrapped the week in Dubai with a lunch gathering of entrepreneurs, investors, and members of the Irish business diaspora — including an engaging fireside chat with Lord Iveagh. The energy in the room was electric, fuelled by insights on legacy, wealth stewardship, and building ventures that matter.  The Photo Gallery of the Dubai Lunch can be found here

What stood out across the week was the calibre of people we met — founders, family offices, sovereign partners, and prominent members of the Irish diaspora all leaning into a future shaped by impact, entrepreneurship, and AI, with Venturewave at the forefront in Ireland and Gulf endeavours.

At Venturewave, we believe the most exciting opportunities lie at the crossroads of impact, technology and global connectivity. This mission reinforced that belief and strengthened the bridges we’re building across borders, especially those connecting Ireland and the Gulf in a Venturewave capacity.
