A newly established research and innovation centre, the Wool Hub, has been set up to offer technical knowledge and expertise to the newly formed, all-island Irish Grown Wool Council (IGWC). The hub aims to assist farmers, sole traders, enterprises, and anyone interested in maximising the potential of this natural Irish-grown resource by providing research, development, and innovation support.

Technical aspects of the Wool Hub will be facilitated by the Circular Bioeconomy Cluster Southwest at Munster Technological University (MTU), Tralee. To learn more, see this article on Agriland.
