Under his leadership, the WDC works across policy, investment, and regional development to strengthen communities, scale indigenous industry, and address structural challenges facing peripheral regions. The agency invests in high-potential enterprises, delivers national initiatives such as ConnectedHubs.ie, and serves as a key advisor to government on regional issues.
Allan has championed place-based development throughout his career, previously working with IDA Ireland, the national inward investment agency, and supporting grassroots initiatives from farmers' markets to film festivals in his personal time.
