Established in 2005, the Atlantic Way has set out to establish strong alliances and co-operation between people and business in diverse locations, with the intention of creating a region of excellence for future economic and social growth along the Galway to Limerick/Shannon corridor.

The voluntary organisation’s membership includes leaders and decision-makers in business, education, community organisations, local/regional government, voluntary services and development based in the West and Mid-West of Ireland.

The Atlantic Way acts as a catalyst for change in partnership with many existing groups and organisations already working for social and economic growth in the region. 

Central to the vision of the Atlantic Way are the Four Pillars of activity:

Knowledge/ Enterprise

Social Inclusion

Tourism/ Leisure

Connectivity/ Infrastructure

The Director of the Mid-West Regional Authority, Mr. Liam Conneally currently coordinates the Connectivity/Infrastructure Pillar.
