A unique aspect of Plato is the participation of large local parent companies that offer Plato members access to their full range of management expertise. Each participating parent company releases its executives on a part-time basis to serve as Plato Group Leaders, providing guidance and support to owner managers.
Parent Companies benefit from new linkages to local supply sources for products and services, as well as the opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to the economic development of the local region.
Large ‘Parent’ Companies currently involved in the Plato 2014 Programme are:
Bank of Ireland
CRS Pharma Solutions
DCU
Dell
Diageo
Electric Ireland
Ericsson
ESB

Paypal
Pfizer
