IONA is pleased to share that the company has been recognised in the Business Post Hot 100 Startups for 2025, produced in partnership with Enterprise Ireland. The listing highlights emerging companies that are shaping the future of Irish industry through innovation, resilience and commitment to long term impact.

For IONA, this acknowledgement marks an important moment in our journey. The company was founded in 2021 with a clear ambition to connect communities that traditional logistics has struggled to reach. From our base in County Clare, we have been developing autonomous delivery networks designed to provide reliable access for rural and remote regions that have often been left outside the modern logistics landscape.

The selection by the Business Post reflects the progress made by the IONA team in building technology and operations that address real world challenges in transport and connectivity. It also recognises the broader value of supporting innovation across Ireland, particularly in sectors that can deliver new economic opportunities and improve quality of life for communities nationwide.

Moments like this serve as an important reminder of the determination and teamwork that enable early stage companies to grow from an idea into a functioning enterprise. The path from concept to implementation involves vision, ongoing refinement and no shortage of late nights in the workshop, and the entire team can take pride in what has been achieved to date.

We are grateful to the Business Post and Enterprise Ireland for their continued support of emerging Irish companies, and we extend sincere thanks to our colleagues and partners who contribute to IONA’s progress every day. Recognition such as this reinforces our commitment to advancing autonomous logistics solutions that serve all communities and help shape the future of regional connectivity in Ireland.
