Neil Leyden

I'm a scriptwriter, ideas junkie, entrepreneur and professional optimist. I chair the Digital Media Forum, a network of digital media companies in Ireland and am on the board of a number of start-ups. I'm project advisor for Gateway Ireland - an initiative to connect the Irish Diaspora online. I am also the winner of Your Country, Your Call - a competition to get ideas that will lift Ireland out of the economic gloom. The big idea: to create an International Digital Services Centre to make Ireland the global gateway for digital content and services between the US and Europe.
