This year Animation Ireland celebrates 10 years since its incorporation in 2015 as the organisation representing and advocating for the animation industry. Next year, in 2026, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the association when it first started out by forming an industry group to work together
as a community, in order to highlight our talent and sow the seeds of many subsequent successes.More than ever, this is a time to both promote our past achievements and strengthen our foundations in order to better support our members into the future. With that in mind, I am proud to present
our new strategic plan, designed to position Ireland as a global leader in the animation industry. Our plan builds upon our creative heritage as storytellers, leverages Ireland’s excellence in animation while it also embraces innovation and opportunities in a rapidly evolving marketplace.Our vision is to strengthen Ireland as a powerhouse of animation content creation and development, by ensuring Animation Ireland is the principal voice of our vibrant, diverse industry, representing
and advocating for continued support and development of the industry at national level on behalf of our membership while enhancing our international ties.I look forward to the work ahead with you, and to hearing from you, as we navigate the next chapter and find opportunities to create more successes together.
I would like to sincerely thank Animation Ireland’s volunteer Board of Directors, supported by our sub-committees, and our dedicated staff, Ronan, Delphine and Róisín for working tirelessly together in the creation of this document.
Thanks also to Karan Thompson Consulting Limited who helped us develop and evolve this strategic plan.
