Ireland’s two top universities, Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and University College Dublin (UCD) on Wednesday jointly unveiled what they termed "a visionary job creation plan as part of the national recovery initiative," built around the "Smart Economy" in the presence of the Taoiseach, Brian Cowen T.D. It was claimed at the launch, that a word-class company like Nokia could be created. However, it's well to keep in mind, that the genesis of successful companies such as Nokia itself or Ryanair, wasn't in a university lab.
