The Ideas Campaign does not want you to submit the business plan for your dream business. Or anything else that is confidential or proprietary. What we do want is ideas for Ireland to rebuild its economy. To harness those ideas and deliver an action plan, we and our Advisory Group need to be able to work freely with those ideas.

We need your permission to do this. We are absolutely clear and upfront about this. This is clearly stated in our Guidelines for submitting ideas. That’s what we require in our terms and conditions. As those terms state in the first paragraph:

The Ideas Campaign is looking for ideas about the “big picture” and practical ways to rebuild Ireland’s economy. The ultimate aim is to distil these ideas down for our report which will be presented to Government in April 2009. We don’t want people to submit their business plans or other confidential and commercially sensitive information.

So there is no need for “warnings” about protecting intellectual property. We are the first to say that if it’s not for public use and benefit, please do not submit it to the Ideas Campaign. Read more about what to submit.

Bearing all this in mind, we would be very pleased if you would submit an idea or look at ideas submitted to date.
