John Redpath, CEO of Trailstone, said that with the Government's robust

support of renewable energy and the proximity to top technical

mission of making sustainable energy sustainable.

Leo Varadkar said that Trailstone's work in the sustainability software

space is more important now than ever.

"We need to leave the planet in a better condition than we found it.

Renewable energy has a really important role to play, which is why

we've committed to transforming our electricity grid to 80%

renewables," he added.
