The Irish Small Business Big Impact 50 will honor the entrepreneurs and business leaders who form the very backbone of the American economy: doers and risk-takers who have ensured that where businesses are being built and wealth created, there you will find the Irish.

Our nominees will be individuals who have displayed entrepreneurial can-do to make their enterprises stand out in their field. While representing myriad sectors, they will all share a commitment to business excellence and a pride in their Irish heritage.

The biggest Irish-owned company in Philadelphia, MRP, will headline our business partners in a sparkling occasion which will mark the 90th anniversary of the Irish Echo — Irish America’s oldest and largest newspaper — and allow us to place a special spotlight on many of the small businesses which make up the IABCN.
