Green Limerick: Rising Star Award award for Green Rebel with a cause

GREEN Rebel has won the Rising Star Award in association with Enterprise Ireland in the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards. 

This award recognises the innovation and growth achievements of a company which has demonstrated a promising growth trajectory and the potential for inclusion in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 rankings in years to come. 

Green Rebel operates a fleet of vessels and aircraft to map vast areas of the ocean. It has a team of scientists, chemists, engineers, ecologists, vessel crew and support staff across multiple locations in Limerick and Cork. 

They help to support the development of offshore wind. 

Kieran Ivers, CEO of Green Rebel commented: “This award recognises the progress that has been made in the offshore wind sector in such a short space of time. 

“The economic opportunities that lie ahead for Irish companies are significant and Green Rebel is an example of what can be achieved,” he continued. 

“The services we offer didn’t exist in Ireland three years ago, and already we’ve positioned ourselves as an organisation which can export these services to meet international demand,” Mr Ivers noted. 

“The market is there and it is reassuring that the value of offshore wind stays in Ireland, that jobs are created and the talent remains here. Green Rebel’s success is down to our strong teams in Cork and Limerick. 

“We have some of Ireland's foremost scientific and engineering talent delivering to a global standard.”
