   Economy, Enterprise and RetailPart 1: Economy & Enterprise 6.1 Context This Plan is being prepared in the context of a global pandemic that has created economic challenges for employment, incomes and businesses and brought unprecedented changes in the ways of work and living. Galway City has not been exempt from these experiences. The impact has left a legacy particularly in the hospitality and retail sector and the allied tourism trade. This was balanced by other elements of the City’s economy in particular the med tech, ICT and health care. It was also tempered by the relatively high level of public service employment in the City which rapidly transferred to an online service delivery model where employment levels and salaries remained stable. In general the economic prospects for Ireland as it edges out of the pandemic are optimistic notwithstanding the economic risks of Brexit, international tax reform measures and possible inflationary pressures both nationally and internationally. It is anticipated that Galway City will mirror the national economic growth forecasted. The city has achieved economic success based on a high education attainment rate amongst the labour force, a supply of a young workforce, supplemented by inward migration, the development of key sector clusters, a low corporate taxation regime, a stable pro-business political environment and an attractive living environment and quality of life. However given that the Gross Value Added (GVA) per person in the region at €29,260 is less than halve the national figure of €67,639 there is still a need for a focused economic strategy to sustain and expand the role of the city as a regional NPF city and driver of economic growth within the MASP and wider Northern and Western Region if the objective of achieving a balanced economy and society as per the NPF is to be realised. Galway City, being the main urban centre in this region will be a key economic and service support to enable the regional targeted 2040 population growth of 160,000-180,000 and to accommodate the significant proportion of the allied targeted 115,000 increase in regional jobs. The promotion and nurturing of the city’s economic and employment base is a priority in the plan in order to sustain the city and the wider region and to support the ambition for the economic role of Galway as an NPF regional city and strong contributor to national growth. This economic growth will require efficient investment choices, a flexible and responsive labour force skills development system, and the development of a more sustainable and diversified enterprise sector that includes outward looking indigenous firms. Such a strategy for the city will also include for a culture that encourages innovation, supports collaboration and appreciates the value of social capital and environmental concerns. In this regard plan policies will need to facilitate opportunities for growth and regeneration, investment across all sectors to create a resilient, inclusive and diverse city economy that is focused on economic recovery, job creation and emerging economic opportunities but also within the national framework on climate action. Key enablers to deliver a successful city and region will be investment in improved national connectivity to and within the region and within the city, so that the Galway MASP will have capacity to collectively, with other regional cities deliver greater alternatives to the growth of Dublin. This investment in low carbon public transport, active travel modes and the connecting of road networks will support the advancement of the regional cities, their respective regions and progress and strengthen the Atlantic Economic Corridor (AEC) stretching between Donegal to Kerry. Galway City, located midway along this corridor can both benefit and contribute to the aim of establishing a connected spine of business and organisations that collaboratively can maximise its assets, attract investment and create jobs that will drive the NPF agenda for regional development that complements and balances with Ireland’s thriving east coast. 152 Galway City Development Plan 2023-2029

   Economy, Enterprise and RetailThe daytime working population of Galway City and its suburbs, inclusive of commuters increased by 7% to 44,376 between 2011 and 2016 (CSO census). Half of this workforce are commuters similar with patterns recorded in 2011, predominantly from the County of Galway with a catchment into Mayo and Clare too. This reflects the significant regional economic role of the city and demonstrates that workers are willing to travel lengthy distances to access employment in the city owing to the quality and range of jobs opportunities. Those who travel outside of the city for work also remain relatively consistent at 5,571 workers. Overall it is not possible to predict how the new and evolving hybrid work models and increased digitisation will impact on commuting patterns or demand for workspaces. This reflects the complexity of such changes which range from complete or partial remote working, off site digital hub arrangements, digital nomad work and other flexible preferences. The National Remote Working Strategy acknowledges that remote working is expected to continue with a majority of employees wishing to adopt a hybrid model. This will provide for increased flexibility for work arrangements and facilitates for a reduction in commuting distances and times. The Strategy supports the development of remote working hub infrastructure. Remote working hubs will offer the potential to access quality office facilities and technology, meeting spaces. As the landscape of work changes so will the implications on spatial planning. This plan needs to support the evolving arrangements and use the monitoring structure over the period of the plan to gauge the need for flexibility to respond to these shifting trends and capitalise on potential opportunities for delivering both economic and sustainable benefits. Galway has shown economic resilience, even after the economic recession and the more recent impacts of the pandemic and proven to be a very dynamic city and a good place to continue to produce talent, attract investment and do business. This success is reflected in the capacity of the city in collaboration with state agencies to grow and consolidate its core workforce and continue to attract multinational and indigenous companies. It is currently a base location for some of the most successful Global ICT companies, has one third of the country’s medical device employees and has an emerging international digital gaming and media sector. This clustering has emerged due to the third level education environment providing a source of talent and a partner through collaborative arrangements with the private sector in research and innovation. The economic performance of the city is also sustained by employment provided in other economic sectors such as the commercial, healthcare service sector, tourism and public sector services. The accolades the city has attracted include, the “most efficient” Irish city in which to start a business, according to a 2019 study by the World Bank, the “Micro European City of the Future” (2016) and “Best Micro City for fDi Strategy” 2020 and 2021 and named by Lonely Planet as “one of the world’s top 5 cities in the world for travellers” in 2020. These bear testimony to the strengths, attractiveness and competitiveness of the city. This is further affirmed in the IDA’s ‘Driving Recovery and Sustainable Growth 2021-2024’ which states that the city of Galway is a crucial part of the West’s attractiveness to FDI. This is reflected in the IDA’s investment decisions which since the last plan delivered advanced technology buildings in Galway and upgrade work on the Business & Technology Parks in Mervue and Parkmore and on strategic sites at Oranmore and Athenry. It is noted that the comparatively low GVA, in national terms, of the West region would be significantly lower if not for the economic output of Galway City. To sustain this economic growth and the socio-economic benefits it gives to the city, will require a continued focus on the key growth sectors and support for new and emerging sectors and innovation in industry including technology and other sectors. Maintaining and enhancing the attractiveness of the city will be important too in sustaining investment, quality employment opportunities and to attract and retain an appropriately skilled workforce to live and work in the catchment area. This focus is also important for the tourism sector which is a well-established contributor of employment in the city and region. The focus of our economic growth must be the creation of higher value employment. Galway City Development Plan 2023-2029 153

   Economy, Enterprise and RetailIn this regard the city needs to target sectors where Galway has competitive advantages, such as those relating to natural resources and to knowledge based resources. These would include sectors such as maritime and blue economy, renewable energy, fourth level education and training, research and development, creativity and innovation, digital, ICT and life sciences. To deliver on the ambitious national plans for the transition to a climate neutral, circular and green economy, there is a particular need to mainstream environmental considerations into economic development policy and this integration is supported and promoted in the plan. In addition the importance of having a good economic strategy in the plan that supports sustainable economic growth, medium and high value employment creation, future skills development, commercial research and development and innovation is also seen as a contribution to the reduction of poverty and inequality, regional disparity and progress towards the UN SDG’s. European Union (EU) economic policy includes a direct response for the need to address climate and recovery issues relating to Covid-19. It includes the Green Deal which is the EU’s Capital Spend which focuses on the green agenda and influences EU state economies, including Ireland. This will transform the direction of public and private sector investment, make the economy more sustainable and enable it to achieve the commitments made under the Paris Agreement and subsequently under Ireland’s Climate Action Plan and associated national legislation. Not only will this require a transformation of the economy across all sectors it will also require an adoption of the circular economy principles. There will be a need to embrace newer forms of enterprise that responds to the challenge of resource, reuse and reducing carbon in manufacturing and consumption. The transition to a lower carbon economy and society is supported through policy and objectives embedded throughout the plan and in development management standards. The National Planning Framework (NPF) is framed by ten national strategic outcomes which are the guiding principles on how best to direct the growing population and economy up to 2040. It realises the delivery of this vision by having a new regional focused strategy for managing future growth with a strong emphasis on having “…a competitive, low carbon, climate resilient and environmentally sustainable economy”. This shift towards Ireland’s regions is supported by the enhanced development of the four regional cities of Galway, Limerick, Cork and Waterford. The NPF sees the regions as being supported by these cities and the cities being strengthened in their role as accessible centres of high value employment and services and focal points for investment to enable them to have the widest possible regional influence. It is noted that National Policy Objective NPO 1c of the National Planning Framework has a target growth of around 115,000 additional people in employment i.e. 450,000 (0.45m) in total in the Northern and Western Region by 2040. The NPF gives recognition in particular to Galway City’s key role as a growth centre and driver for investment and identifies several key growth enabler projects for the Galway MASP area which can support and enhance Galway’s economic role. The NPF is supported by the investment strategy of the National Development Plan (NDP) which sets out investment priorities to deliver on the goals of the NPF. The NDP review in 2021 included additional focus on priorities for climate action, housing and for addressing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and strengthening of the alignment of the investment strategy up to 2030 with these current development priorities. 154 Galway City Development Plan 2023-2029

   Economy, Enterprise and RetailThe Government’s Economic Recovery Plan (ERP) June 2021, is a response to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on society and the economy. It includes for a pathway for a sustainable jobs-led recovery. It focuses on four key pillars: sustainable public finances, supporting a return to work, re-building sustainable enterprises, and supporting a balanced and inclusive recovery. The plan includes more than €3.5 billion in spending supports. The ambition of the ERP is to have 2.5 million people in work by 2024, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Alongside the ERP, there is the National Recovery and Resilience Plan which focuses on areas including innovation, skills, resilience and productivity, as well as the changes flowing from the Government’s climate action commitments with the aim of working towards a sustainable jobs-led recovery and a just transition to a low carbon economy and digital economy. Reflecting EU policy, national plans show a growing commitment to climate action and a shift in policy, action and investment towards a transition and adaptation to achieve progress towards green growth and sustainable development to meet 2030 and 2050 climate action targets. This approach highlights the need for this transition to be a fair one that will need a range of social interventions to protect workers and their livelihoods when economies are shifting to more sustainable production in the interests of combating climate change and protecting biodiversity. In recent publications the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council (NCPC) has identified key challenges to strengthen competitiveness and productivity, inclusive growth and to support businesses in the transition to a sustainable, carbon-neutral economy. They see the need to ensure that the transition to a sustainable, carbon-neutral economy delivers for all parts of society. There is also a need to encourage opportunities for upskilling and the opportunities to market climate action as a competitive advantage. They identify the need to invest strategically in Ireland’s physical infrastructure, and resolve long-standing issues relating to cost of housing and childcare. They also support the need to continue targeted pandemic supports, address issues associated with Ireland’s high cost economy and explore how productivity could be boosted through changed work practices and digitisation. Although pitched at national level many of these issues apply to the Galway context. In land use and spatial planning terms, support for delivery of critical infrastructure such as housing and transport, flexibility to address the changing work landscape and embedded policies to drive an economy towards carbon-neutrality, will contribute to improving competitiveness of the city. The Northern and Western Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) 2020-2032, distils NPF objectives to regional level. It has a focused vision for a region that is smarter, greener, more specialised and connected, with a stronger and more compact urban network. It includes a Growth Framework incorporating ‘Five Growth Ambitions’ that links strategic and operational challenges with prioritised capital interventions. These growth ambitions focus on building a competitive and productive economy, a long term vision for energy supply, respect for the natural and built heritage, a well-connected region, a liveable environment that commits to sustainability and inclusivity and a region supported by the necessary economic infrastructure to support compact growth and resilience. In particular the RSES includes for specific development objectives for Galway City and environs under the Galway Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan (MASP). The MASP envisions Galway to grow to be a globally competitive urban centre and owing to the current strong international and indigenous investment presence, continue to have a pivotal function in the development of the region. The MASP identifies suitable locations for strategic employment development. It focuses on compact growth and direction of development onto key city centre regeneration and strategically located industrial/enterprise lands throughout the city. It recognises the high value of the third level educational institutions and workforce skills. It identifies potential to further develop the modern technology industry, tourism, retail, gastronomy, research/ education and the marine sector. It views advancement in these sectors as key to drive regional economic growth. The MASP also recognises the distinct image of the city, its quality of life, high standards of education, and its culture and historic and amenity setting as key assets to the economy. It also identifies strategic investment in critical services, road networks and sustainable transport infrastructure and public realm as essential to enabling the MASP area function and develop.

    Economy, Enterprise and RetailThe Galway City Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) 2015-2021 is the local level strategy for economic, social and community development in Galway City. It is a collaborative plan for the city, prepared by the local authority in conjunction with the community input from the Local Community and Development Committees (LCDC). The LECP is based around the vision that “Galway will be a successful City Region with a creative, inclusive and innovative ecosystem in place to ensure its sustainable development into the future”. The plan includes for five high-level goals for Galway City. That is to be a worldclass, creative city region; an innovative city; an equal and inclusive city; a sustainable, resilient urban environment that is the regional capital of the West; and a city that promotes the health and well-being of all its people. The LECP notes Galway City must capitalise on the city’s strengths to retain competitiveness. Digital technologies in particular are seen as one key to future proofing the city and enabling the transition to an international smart sustainable city. The LECP is currently being reviewed. It will take account of the challenges and the recovery presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit implications to ensure that a local level framework is in place to support economic growth, social and community improvements. Collectively the LECP and Development Plan provide a strategic framework for integrated planning in the city and must be consistent. There is a complex and comprehensive eco-system for the support of enterprise startup and growth in the city which includes a range of targeted statutory and non-statutory supports. These include IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, the Local Enterprise Office (LEO), a range of business incubator facilities, both fourth level campus based on and off campus facilities and sectoral (ICT/ life sciences / creative sectors). A further five incubator facilities are under development at present. In addition to this there are sectoral specific research and development facilities which facilitate academic and commercial collaboration, a range of commercial and industrial parks and a range of commercial office space being developed at the city core and manufacturing facilities at the fringes of the city. Allied to that there are a range of statutory organisations delivering support programmes to develop Social Enterprise, the Circular Economy and the regional skills resource. A Regional Enterprise Plan is currently being finalised for the West Region to identify the key economic areas to be developed. The continued success and economic growth in the Galway MASP area is linked to a wide range of contributing factors which consists of the need for a high quality transport system including for sustainable mobility, good connectivity and a modern public transport system. It also requires a well-functioning housing market and good educational and community supports. The offer of quality lifestyle choices, good recreational and cultural experiences and a quality built and natural environment are assets that contribute to the economy in attracting and retaining a skilled workforce and sustaining the tourism economy. Galway is advantaged in having a number of these attributes and a spatial strategy and investment direction in the RSES, NPF, NDP and City Plan to deliver the balance. The Core Strategy supported by appropriate spatial policies and objectives in the plan will further enable the overall framework needed for the local economy to prosper. Lands zoned and designated for regeneration that can support enterprise is anticipated to meet the projected employment increase included for in the RSES and the MASP at locations that are integrated with the Galway Transport Strategy in particular for sustainable transportation choices and with the settlement strategy to encourage ease of access and to nurture the neighbourhood concept. The main direction for expansion of employment will be onto designated regeneration sites, strategic business parks and on existing health and education campuses that are well aligned with the measures in the Galway Transport Strategy. The development of the retail hierarchy of the city centre, district neighbourhood and local retail centre aims to enable commercial and tourism related activities. Together with the MASP, other strategic regional employment plans, the LECP, investment strategies and partnerships in implementation, the City Plan will enable the city to continue to flourish economically. 156 Galway City Development Plan 2023-2029
