West X West
Where the creative spirit of the West connects founders, capital and culture.
In 2025, founders, investors, and industry leaders came together in the heart of the West of Ireland, igniting something powerful.
That momentum continues.
In October 2026, WXW will return as an expanded, two-day forum where technology, capital, enterprise and culture converge.
We are bringing together high-growth Irish founders, global venture investors and industry leaders, alongside a curated cultural programme spanning the best of Irish music, performance, and conversation.
This is where ideas accelerate, connections deepen, and opportunities take shape.
Where place meets possibility.
