Two new satellites added to Galileo constellation for increased resilience

The European Galileo satellite navigation system keeps growing: a new pair of satellites has joined the constellation after a journey on a Falcon 9 rocket, launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on 18 September at 00:50 CEST (17 September 18:50 local time).

The 13th launch in the Galileo programme, performed by SpaceX under contract with ESA, has taken Galileo satellites number 31 and 32 (FM26 and FM32) to medium Earth orbit, extending the constellation to make it more robust and resilient. In the coming weeks, the new satellites will reach their final destination at 23 222 km, where they will be tested prior to starting operations. 

ESA Director of Navigation Javier Benedicto said, “With the deployment of these two satellites, Galileo completes its constellation as designed, reaching the required operational satellites plus one spare per orbital plane. The remaining 6 Galileo First Generation satellites are expected to be deployed in 2025 and 2026 for increased robustness and performance, solidifying the resilience and reliability of Galileo and enabling uninterrupted delivery of the world’s most precise navigation.” 

ESA, as design authority and system development prime, together with manufacturer OHB, has developed and tested 38 satellites since the conception of Galileo. All but six satellites have been launched, with the remaining ones ready to join the constellation starting next year. They will be launched in pairs by Ariane 6, ESA’s new launcher that successfully completed its inaugural flight in July. Thereafter, the first batch of Galileo Second Generation (G2) satellites, currently under development by Thales Alenia Space and Airbus Defence and Space, will also be placed in orbit by ESA’s heavy launcher. 

Galileo, onwards and upwards

2024 has been a busy year in the Galileo programme, that moves ahead at full speed. In April, the first dual launch of the year placed satellites 29 and 30 in orbit. After a successful early orbit phase and test campaign, the pair entered into service in September.  

Just a few days prior to the April launch, Galileo’s new Public Regulated Service (PRS) signals started broadcasting. This encrypted navigation service is specifically designed for authorised governmental users and sensitive applications, contributing to increase Europe’s autonomy and resilience in the critical domain of satellite navigation. 

Also in April, Galileo’s ground segment, the largest in Europe and one of the continent’s most critical infrastructures, was migrated with no user impact. This upgrade was needed in part to prepare the system for Galileo’s Second Generation, that is being built by European industry. G2 satellites will be ground-breaking with fully digital navigation payloads, electric propulsion, a more powerful navigation antenna, inter-satellite link capacity and an advanced atomic clock configuration. 

About Galileo

Galileo is currently the world’s most precise satellite navigation system, serving over four billion smartphone users around the globe since entering Open Service in 2017. All smartphones sold in the European Single Market are now guaranteed Galileo-enabled. In addition, Galileo is making a difference across the fields of rail, maritime, agriculture, financial timing services and rescue operations. 

A flagship programme of the EU, Galileo is managed and funded by the European Commission. Since its inception, ESA, as system development prime and design authority, leads the design, development and qualification of the space and ground systems, and procures launch services. ESA is also entrusted with research and development activities for the future of Galileo within the EU programme Horizon Europe. The EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) acts as the system prime for the operational system provider, ensuring exploitation and safe and secure delivery of services while overseeing market demands and application needs.

Internet freedoms are deteriorating at an unprecedented pace in Southeast Europe, the “Rights in the Digital Space 2024” webinar organised by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network and the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom, ECPMF heard on Friday.

“Discrimination, genocide denial, foreign influences and disinformation are key violations in the region,” Ivana Jeremic, digital content lead at BIRN’s Digital Rights Programme, said.

Jeremic added that the use of artificial intelligence had caused a major spike in digital violations in 2024.

At the event, BIRN and ECPMF presented their latest publications – BIRN’s Digital Rights Violations Report 2023-2024 and ECPMF’s Media Freedom Monitoring Report – both of which highlight worrying online trends.

Cara Raeker, from ECPMF, said the organisation “found most cases [of press freedom violations] in Turkey, Serbia and Hungary”. Raeker underlined that online attacks are the most common breaches of press freedom.

Gurkan Ozturan, from ECPMF, who is also Turkey rapporteur for Freedom House’s Freedom on the Net project, said Turkey remains a major violator of digital and internet freedoms.

“Turkey remains still ‘not free’ in the digital space, with continuous restrictions on press and media fields as well as in the field of freedom of expression, access to information and digital privacy,” he said.

He cited the use of draconian laws to censor internet and media as well as major violations of citizens’ online data.

Mila Bajic, from Share Foundation and Freedom House’s Freedom on the Net project, said internet freedoms continue to deteriorate in Serbia as well.

“In 2024, Serbia fell to 70 points [on the Freedom on the Net rankings] which is basically the line between ‘partly free’ and ‘free’, which is the lowest score the country ever got,” Bajic said.

In a panel about big tech companies, Bojana Kostic, a human rights and tech researcher, noted a major disparity between big tech and citizens’ rights.

“[This] incredible power asymmetry will not play out well at the end, to the detriment of freedom of expression and other human rights and all citizens’ wellbeing,” Kostic argued.

Speakers at the webinar agreed that journalists are among the most-targeted groups because of their work.

Teona Sekhniashvili, network and advocacy officer at the International Press Institute, IPI, cited the continued detention of Georgian journalist Mzia Amaglobeli, director of internet news sites Batumelebi and Netgazeti, on charges of assaulting a police officer.

Sekhniashvili pointed out that Amaglobeli was one of those who stood up against the Georgian government’s notorious ‘foreign’ agents law, which requires NGOs receiving a certain level of funding from abroad “to register as organisations pursuing the interests of foreign power”.

Azem Kurtic, BIRN’s Bosnia and Herzegovina correspondent, said the Republika Srpska entity is also preparing a similar foreign agents law, targeting press freedoms and civil liberties.

“The law gives a lot of legal rights to the justice minister [of Republika Srpska] to mark anyone receiving money from abroad as an agent of foreign influence. In the end, they could be banned from existence and from actually conducting their activities,” Kurtic said.

More about digital rights violations in Southeast Europe can be found in BIRN’s Digital Rights Violations Report 2023-2024 and in the latest ECPMF Media Freedom Monitoring Report.

Completed my Second Game Jam!!

I completed Brackeys second game jam of 2024! The theme was Calm Before the Storm, and I was one of 1500 submissions!

I cannot fully express how happy I am to have finished my second game jam! The team I worked with were super amazing and I will go into their skills and what I appreciated later.

The game we made was a resource management, mobile defense, hack n' slash. While the submission build is not 100% functional, it still shows off some really cool systems and designs, and I'm very happy with how it turned out! I am continuing to do post-release updates and any new builds will be submitted to our Github while the Game Jam voting is ongoing.

Please check out Automik Breakers and submit your rating and thoughts if you can! All feedback is welcome because I may be fixing/completing it or need to know if it needs fixing.

Designing and programming this game was really fun! This was a week long game jam with a secret theme that was revealed on Day 1. Before the jam, I wasn't sure if I would work solo or as a team, so I drafted some ideas ahead of time for each theme that I was confident I could independently make systems for. Some of those ideas were an endless "swimmer", house break-in incremental horror, and helping neighbors with tasks around the neighborhood.

Ultimately, I decided to find a team. I'm still quite new to game jams and really enjoyed meeting people last time. I searched within Brackey's Discord server to find open teams looking for a programmer, either for Unity or Unreal Engine. I reached out to many cool people and ended up creating a team of my own! I made a Discord server for us to collaborate it, as well as the GitHub repo, Google Drive, and Miro. I focused a lot on making sure everyone was comfortable with one another and that everyone could contribute their skills to the project the way they wanted to.

Once the theme was announced, we started workshopping ideas day one. With team members in multiple time zones from NA to Europe, we met several times over the next two days to hammer out the main game genre, game loop, and systems. There were many ideas and possibilities, so talking through how we would implement each aspect of it and what assets would be needed for development helped us land on our chosen game. We made sure to keep the theme in mind throughout the development of systems, design, narrative, and artwork.

The biggest challenges for me as both a developer, designer, and team lead were managing scope and schedules. We knew what systems we wanted, but getting them to interact properly was already going to be a challenge, and we were essentially developing two "Game Modes" to function as one. As such, we were mindful to keep a list of minimum viable features and to knock additional features into "if we can" territory. When it comes to scope, to improve I would say I would start digital prototype development and systems design even a day sooner, and to build certain features one at a time until completion rather than bouncing around a bit (this is my experience). Using User Stories was especially helpful for helping me organize what the goals of development were, even more so then the task list I made for the team.

When it comes to scheduling, we have 9 team members in 5 different time zones, so making sure work and delegations were queued up for when I was offline and others were up was very important. Task lists as well as morning "hi-hello-today we will-" really helped with managing expectations and updating the whole team on development progress. It was really satisfying seeing the whole team interact and work together. I was actively learning from my fellow programmers, Spoon, Necron, and GraphicEdit, and I hope everyone else can say the same. Also, I think having a diverse time zoned team also helped us with maximizing production development without burning everyone out. Knowing something was being done around the clock without forcing anyone to crunch or sacrifice IRL activities was really nice.

Scope ultimately led to our game being less than 100% complete. We didn't have much time the last 2 days to tune the enemy strength, add greater significance to delivery items, attach power-ups to each resource item, or to fine-tune additional bugs. The story also wasn't able to iterate correctly, the random deliveries queue is still in-production, and the custom deliveries option could be more clear. I'm satisfied that these are aspects that I know can be improved and lead to a satisfying and complete game with replay value.

As for contributions, personally, I worked on a few different things throughout the jam. I managed onboarding team members, creating and updating team resources, and developing task lists for async development. I supported the team by reviewing sounds and music, artwork, and game systems. I developed the Cargo Controller ( the script that controls the movement and inventory of the cargo vehicle), the Hub Manager (the script that controls the inventory of the Hub during "Calm Mode", as well as the assignment of deliveries), and the Storm Mode Journey (which controlled the "Storm Mode"s game loop). With assistance from Spoon, I also worked on the Game Manager, making sure that it had access to both game modes and could keep track of persistent objects and values like our currency, story deliveries, and delivery items. With his assistance I also created the scriptable objects for the various resource and delivery items based on Spoons SO script.

I worked on the UI for the Hub, designing potential layouts, finding references, coordinating with the team on colors and fonts, and laying out the structure and prefabs using Unity's UI system. It was a bit of a headache but only because the nesting got so deep and the layout groups were a little unpredictable. Still, a much more satisfying and improved experience than my last game jam. Thank you to Rusty for the beautiful UI panel art!

Most days, I would start work off by connecting with the team, seeing what they needed to be successful, updating docs as necessary, all before digging into my code or UI responsibilities. My experience in project management really helped me succeed in this, as well as the dedication and talent of the team I was working with.

Thank you to RatDrum for developing the music for this game, as well as additional sound effects. Thank you to JollyGoodFriend for developing sound effects, as well. Thank you to Rustyscreech for designing the UI art and backgrounds and the Cargo Cart, as well as the concept art for the characters. Thank you to Danieluxx for designing the character animations. Thank you to Necron for developing the enemy systems. Thank you to Spoon for developing the background pooling system, the Base Item scriptable objects, and the inventory system, and for helping to optimize my and Necron's code. Thank you to GraphicEdit for developing the main menu and pause menu UIs, for developing the for-now unutilized save system, and for supporting Github commits and troubleshooting. Thank you to SirSunstone for writing a captivating story for our game world, and integrating it piece-by-piece into the Story missions, as well as for coming up with a cool list of items for us to implement.

THANK YOU to our team! Could not have done this without you all!

I'm so excited for my next game jam and to see what else I can do!

A Polish tech entrepreneur's global project, aimed at getting more children into computer programming, has been endorsed by Pope Francis.

Miron Mironiuk, founder of artificial intelligence company Cosmose AI, is drawing on his own experience of coding transforming his life.

He said the "Code with Pope" initiative would bridge "the glaring disparities in education" across the globe.

It is hoped the Pope's involvement will attract Catholic countries.

"We believe that the involvement of the Pope will help to convince them to spend some time and use this opportunity to learn programming for free," Mr Mironiuk told the BBC.

The initiative will champion access to coding education through a free online learning platform for students aged 11-15 across Europe, Africa and Latin America.

After 60 hours of dedicated learning, children will be equipped with the basics of Python, one of the world's most popular coding languages.

In the digital age, programming skills have become as fundamental as reading and writing.

World Economic Forum data released in 2023 revealed that "the majority of the fastest growing roles are technology-related roles".

However, a severe global shortage of tech skills threatens to leave 85 million job positions unfilled by 2030.

As a result, increasing access to high-quality programming education has become a necessity, particularly in low and middle-income countries - many of which are Catholic.

A large percentage of the Polish population identifies as Catholic.

The 33-year-old millionaire Mr Mironiuk told the BBC that he was proud of his Polish heritage and to be part of a crop of successful Polish people working in technology.

The country is making significant strides in the tech scene, particularly in AI, with companies like Google Brain, Cosmose AI and Open AI having significant numbers of Polish employees.

But Mr Mironiuk is also aware that many countries are not as fortunate, and hopes this educational programme could help change that.

The programme will be available in Spanish, English, Italian and Polish. It is expected to reach children all over South America except Brazil, and in English speaking nations in Africa and South East Asia.

This is not the first time the Pope has encouraged young people to get into coding, having helped write a line of code for a UN initiative in 2019.

Mr Mironiuk will meet the Pope at the Vatican. But he admits he's not anticipating the pontiff to emulate his students in acquiring new skills.

"I don't expect him to know Python very well, at least," he said. "But he will get a certificate for his efforts in helping start the programme."

Looking to Hire AI Developers in the UAE? Here's What to Expect

Over the last few years, the United Arab Emirates has quickly positioned itself as a worldwide leader in innovation, digital change, and artificial intelligence. Because the local government pours money into smart-city projects, self-driving transport, and AI-powered public services, the need for AI developers has exploded. If you plan to hire AI developers in the UAE, you are entering one of the most fast-paced and tech-savvy job markets on the planet. Still, what should you actually prepare for when bringing on AI experts in the Emirates?

This post walks you through everything you need to know-from the current state of AI development in the UAE and different hiring models to essential skills, salary benchmarks, legal issues, and tips for making teamwork click. Whether you run a startup, a large enterprise, or a government-backed initiative, knowing these facts will help you hire wisely and get the most value from your AI investment.

The Booming Demand for AI Developers in the UAE

Artificial Intelligence isn't just talk in the UAE anymore-it is at the heart of the country's long-term game plan. Under its National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031, the government wants to place the UAE at the front of the global AI race, weaving smart tech into daily life and every business sector. Whether it is smart police patrols, facial ID systems, banking chatbots, or online health assistants, AI is popping up almost everywhere, and the rollout shows no sign of slowing.

As use grows, so does the need for people who can build that technology. Fintech firms, retailers, logistics operators, and property companies are all on the hunt for AI developers in the UAE, looking for pros who can create, launch, and keep moving engines that actually deliver results.

What Makes the UAE an Attractive Market for Hiring AI Talent?

1. Government Support and Investments

Programs like Dubai Future Foundation, Abu Dhabi's Hub71, and Smart Dubai give AI startups a friendly playground and cash to work with, pulling in talent from around the world. If you hire here, there is a good chance your developers have already played a part in big, high-profile AI projects.

2. High-Tech Infrastructure

The UAE boasts top-notch digital highways-whether blazing 5G or friendly IoT set-ups-so its cities are perfect playgrounds for testing and rolling out AI . Local programmers live and breathe these tools daily.

3. Diverse Talent Pool

Because the Emirates attracts brains from Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and beyond, you get many world views wrapped around a single problem . That mix sparks fresh ideas, bigger tool boxes, and easier searches for the exact chops your project needs.

Key Skills to Look for When You Hire AI Developers in UAE

Before you bring an AI developer on board, it's crucial to understand the core competencies they should possess. Because every project-a movie-recommendation engine, a customer-facing chatbot, a fraud-alert shield, or a crystal-ball analytics dash-has its own flavor, the wish list changes slightly. Even so, a few core skills always matter:

1. Strong Foundation in Math and Statistics

AI sits on a bed of algorithms, and those in turn sit on math. Look for people who move easily through probability, linear algebra, calculus, and optimization.

2. Knowing the Right Programming Languages

Python tops the list for nearly every AI project today. Your team will benefit if developers are also comfortable with toolkits such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn. R, Java, or C++ can crop up, depending on the tech needs.

3. Working with Machine Learning and Deep Learning

Look for hands-on work with supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning models. For bigger tasks, mastery of CNNs, RNNs, and Transformers makes a clear difference.

4. Managing and Engineering Data

AI starts with messy data, so your developer must clean, reshape, and pull records from databases and APIs in real time.

5. Cloud Know-How and DevOps Basics

Most models run in the cloud. Skills on AWS, Azure, or GCP plus containers in Docker or orchestration with Kubernetes make deployment smoother.

Common Ways to Hire AI Developers in the UAE

You can recruit full-time, bring on freelancers, or partner with agencies, so choose the model that matches your project's size, schedule, and budget.

1. In-House Hiring

Put simply, if AI sits at the heart of what you sell, building your own in-house squad gives you tighter control, faster teamwork, and stronger ownership of ideas. It's pricier and takes time to set up, yet it pays off when projects stretch over years.

2. Freelance/Contract-Based

Freelancers shine when you need quick tests, fast MVPs, or small tweaks. The UAE's gig scene is booming, with platforms such as Upwork, Toptal, and Nabbesh making it easy to find talent on demand.

3. Outsourcing to an AI Development Company

Working with a dedicated AI firm in the UAE, say WDCS Technology, hands you a ready-to-go crew, clear processes, and support after launch-all bundled into one contract.

4. Hybrid Teams

Many firms now mix in-house staff, outside advisers, and offshore coders, giving them the flex to grow fast while still keeping quality in check.

Legal and Compliance Considerations

Before you bring in AI talent in the UAE-whether a full-time expat or a distant studio-make sure you follow local rules:

Work Visas and Permits: Hire overseas and you must sponsor an employment visa.

Data Privacy: Anyone handling sensitive data must meet the UAEs Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and, if your users are in Europe, possibly GDPR too.

NDAs and IP Agreements - Always get a signed NDA and spell out who owns the ideas in your contract. This matters even more when you hand work to freelancers or studios outside your firm.

Average Salary Expectations for AI Developers in UAE

The UAE is famous for paying tech talent well, and AI pros are no exception. If youre planning a budget, here's what typical salary bands look like:

Junior AI Developer: AED 10,000-15,000 per month

Mid-Level Developer: AED 15,000-25,000 per month

Senior AI Developer or AI Lead: AED 25,000-45,000+ per month

Freelancers generally bill AED 100-300 an hour, depending on skill level and how tricky the job is. Agencies tend to price by project, with small apps starting around AED 30,000 and large enterprise solutions climbing past AED 150,000.

Interviewing and Vetting AI Talent

When you have a shortlist, use these steps to pick the right person:

Technical Evaluation: Ask them to explain a past AI project. How did they build the data pipeline? Which algorithms did they choose? What tweaks boosted accuracy or speed?

Live Test or Assignment: Present a real, bite-sized problem and watch their thought process.

Soft Skills Assessment: AI work often links designers, data engineers, and product folks. Check that the candidate communicates clearly and plays well with others.

Portfolio Review: Scan their GitHub, Kaggle scores, or open-source commits for proof they deliver code, not just theory.

Challenges to Watch Out for When Hiring AI Developers in UAE

Diversity within UK radio workforce largely confined to stations targeting minorities : 2010 : BBC Trust

 “Leadership of the [UK broadcast] industry appears to remain in the hands of predominantly white, able-bodied men”. Broadcast Training & Skills Regulator, Equal Opportunities Report 2008

In the United States, ‘diversity’ has been described as:

One of the “paramount goals of broadcast regulation in America”; 

“One of the foundation principles in communications policy”; 

“A broad principle to which appeal can be made on behalf of both neglected minorities and of consumer choice, or against monopoly and other restrictions”. 

American Professor Philip Napoli portrayed the objective of ‘diversity’ in US broadcasting policy as a derivative of First Amendment goals to promote informed decision-making, cultural pluralism, citizen welfare and a well-functioning democracy. Napoli described the ‘diversity’ objective in terms of a ‘marketplace of ideas’:

“Thus, the marketplace of ideas has been conceived by the courts, legal scholars, and policymakers as a key dimension of First Amendment freedoms, in which citizens are free to choose from a wide range of ideas (content diversity), delivered from a wide range of sources (source diversity). The citizens then partake of this diversity (exposure diversity) to increase their knowledge, encounter opposing viewpoints, and become well-informed decision-makers who are better capable of fulfilling their democratic responsibilities in a self-governing society”. 

Napoli created a flowchart that outlined the primary dimensions of diversity, their component parts and their presumed relationships:

Source Diversity → Content Diversity →       Exposure Diversity

1. Ownership 1. Program-Type Format 1. Horizontal

a. Programming     2. Demographic         2. Vertical

b. Outlet         3. Idea/Viewpoint

2. Workforce

In the United States, it was thought that the ultimate public policy goal of ‘exposure diversity’ could be achieved through significant regulatory intervention in the broadcast industry to forcibly create the antecedents ‘source diversity’ and ‘content diversity’. However, the latter interventions have remained mere proxies for the policy goal and, from empirical evidence over several decades of intervention, Napoli concluded that:

“The expectation that increased diversity of sources leads to increased diversity of content is far from a certainty

It may be that increases in content diversity should be considered essentially meaningless from a policy perspective if the additional content is ignored by the audience”. 

By contrast, in the United Kingdom, ‘diversity’ has not been a prime policy objective of broadcast regulation. In part, this derives from the historical difference in the development of broadcasting between the two countries. In the United States, broadcasting evolved as a wholly commercial industry, propelled by competing stations serving local markets. In Europe, the model was state-controlled broadcast monopolies serving national audiences, supplemented only relatively recently by commercial competitors. In the US, broadcast evolution has been bottom-up, whilst the European model was entirely top-down.

More recently in Europe, ‘diversity’ has come to be recognised as an important policy issue in media regulation. In 2003, the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers described ‘cultural diversity’ as an “essential public interest objective” in its member states’ measures to promote the democratic and social contribution of digital broadcasting. 

In the UK, a report commissioned by government agency NESTA in 2001 concluded that:

“Cultural diversity amongst viewers, broadcast employees, producers and broadcast suppliers has noticeably worsened during the last ten years

Over the last decade, there have been a decline in the numbers of black people employed in influential positions in broadcasting; a decline in the numbers of programmes targeting black viewers and a decline in the numbers of black-owned production companies being commissioned by broadcasters

Diversity tools such as ethnic minority supplier targets; contract compliance; ring fenced resources; and publicly available monitoring data, have been recommended by a variety of industry organisations but have not been adopted by many broadcasters”. 

The ‘diversity’ issue in broadcasting was placed centre stage when (as explained in a BBC presentation):

“In April 2000, a man stood up at the Race In The Media Awards in London and said … ‘The BBC needs to change dramatically if it is to be a serious player in 21st Century Britain.’ His name was Greg Dyke, Director General of the BBC”. 

As a result, then BBC director of sport, Peter Salmon, was appointed to champion cultural diversity within the BBC, and he pledged:

“Changing the culture of the BBC has been crucial to ensuring an atmosphere in which diversity can flourish. The ‘One BBC’ initiative, which encourages risk-taking, honest discussions, creativity and dynamism across the whole of the BBC, has been an integral part of supporting our wider aims around diversity – a BBC fit for the 21st Century Britain”. 

A decade after Dyke’s statement, it is instructive to document the levels of ‘diversity’ achieved in the UK radio industry as a whole, as well as in BBC radio. This is intended to help benchmark the extent to which independently commissioned radio content satisfies the ‘diversity’ requirement stipulated in the BBC Agreement. Borrowing the framework of Napoli’s flowchart, the issues of ‘source diversity’, ‘content diversity’ and ‘exposure diversity’ are examined in turn.

SOURCE DIVERSITY

1.  Ownership

As a consequence of the Licence Fee system by which public broadcasting is funded, it could be argued that the BBC belongs to all paying households in the United Kingdom. The headline data on the composition of the population demonstrate that:

50.9% of the total UK population are female (31.0 million); 

7.9% of the total UK population belong to ethnic minorities (4.6 million); 

17.2% of the total UK population are disabled (10.6 million); 

16.2% of the total UK population live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland (6.9 million); 

5.4% of the total population of Great Britain believe in non-Christian religions (3.1 million). 

The increasing ‘diversity’ of the UK population in the 21st Century theoretically translates into a more diverse collective ownership of the BBC. Each of us expects something back from BBC radio in the form of content that reflects our particular citizenship, be that our gender, our geographical location, our ethnicity or simply our love of jazz music. This multiplicity of competing demands obviously presents a major challenge for the BBC, much of whose content is broadcast to mass audiences on national Networks.

In the commercial radio broadcast sector, consolidation permitted by the Communications Act 2003 has resulted in more concentrated ownership of the UK’s more than 300 commercial stations. Whereas, eight years ago, the three largest station owners accounted for 54% of commercial radio listening, they accounted for 75% in Q4 2009. The largest commercial radio group, Global Radio, was responsible for 39% of commercial radio listening in Q4 2009. 

At the same time, the number of commercial radio analogue stations has increased substantially from 106 in 1990 to more than 300 presently and, as a result, a more diverse range of content is now offered to listeners.  For example, the first commercial radio station to target an ethnic audience was licensed in 1990, and the first religious station in 1995. The DAB digital radio platform has also carried an increasing number of stations, although the reach of these services has been limited by the slow public take-up of DAB receiver hardware.

Ofcom does not publish data on the diversity of ownership of commercial radio licensees. However, the ownership of commercial radio would appear to have narrowed substantially as a result of consolidation. Although it is clearly not the BBC’s responsibility to balance the impact of less diverse ownership within the commercial radio sector, it nevertheless highlights the imperative for BBC radio to reflect the increasing diversity of the population it serves.

Napoli’s second issue of programming ownership has little relevance for the UK radio market because the overwhelming majority of content broadcast by both BBC and commercial radio is originated by the broadcaster itself, rather than sourced externally. Hence, the diversity of programme ownership is largely a product of the diversity in ownership of the broadcast outlets.

2.  Workforce

Empirical data outlining the diversity of the radio broadcasting workforce derive from three sources: Skillset, the Broadcast Training & Skills Regulator and the BBC.

Skillset, the Sector Skills Council for the creative media industries, conducted an Employment Census in 2009 which estimated that 19,900 persons were employed in the radio broadcasting industry (BBC and commercial). Of the total:

16% were freelance

47% were female

7.9% were from ethnic minorities

2.6% were disabled. 

These results were extrapolated from only 77 completed questionnaires returned from employers in the broadcast radio sector and from 9 in the community radio sector.  This response rate may also explain Skillset’s estimate that, of 400 chief executives employed in radio broadcasting, 100 are freelance, 100 are female, 50 are from ethnic minorities and 50 are disabled. 

Within its analysis of employment in the radio sector, Skillset noted that:

Women make up almost half the workforce, a greater proportion than that of the audiovisual industry as a whole

The radio industry employs a low proportion of ethnic minority staff relative to its locations in London, Northwest and Southeast England, where 60% of the radio workforce is located

In London, 11% of the radio workforce is from ethnic minorities, whereas 25% of the capital’s population of working age is from ethnic minorities

Disabled people comprise a higher proportion of the radio workforce than in the audiovisual industry as a whole

The age profile of the radio workforce is slightly older than that of the creative media workforce as a whole. 

Skillset’s ‘Diversity Strategy’ for the media sector stated:

“Diversity, the drive to create a genuinely inclusive culture, is increasingly recognised as a business critical issue. Managing diversity successfully helps business to respond effectively to ever more diverse markets and to achieve new levels of creativity and innovation. … However, one look at the overall demographic profile of the sector’s workforce and it becomes apparent that there is still a long way to go to make it truly inclusive of our society as a whole”. 

Skillset estimated that 48% of the total radio industry workforce is employed by the BBC, 43% by commercial radio, and 9% by community radio.  Skillset found that the proportion of freelancers in the commercial radio sector was twice the proportion working in BBC radio. 

The Broadcast Training & Skills Regulator [BTSR] collects data from broadcasters regarding the promotion of equal opportunities and training, as required by Section 337 of the Communications Act 2003. Broadcasters employing fewer than 21 staff (the majority of local commercial radio stations) are exempt from this requirement to supply data. The latest BTSR report, based on 2008 data, collated returns from 29 companies in radio, and nine companies working in both radio and television.  Unfortunately, data from the latter nine bi-media companies (which probably include the BBC, Bauer and UTV) are not separated into ‘radio’ and ‘television’, making it impossible to build up a complete picture of the radio sector.

BTSR data from the returns of 29 radio-only companies found that 7,021 people were employed in radio broadcasting in 2008, of which:

46.1% were female, of which:

12.7% at board level were female

31.8% in senior management were female

64.2% in administrative & support functions were female

38.4% on freelance or contract basis were female

3.2% were from ethnic minorities, of which:

11.4% at board level (9 persons) were from ethnic minorities

3.6% in senior management (7 persons) were from ethnic minorities

2.5% in administrative & support functions were from ethnic minorities

1.4% on freelance or contract basis were from ethnic minorities

0.4% were disabled (30 persons)

1.3% at board level (1 person) were disabled

0% in senior management were disabled

0.1% on freelance or contract basis were disabled. 

Because this data must be assumed to exclude BBC radio personnel, it would seem to indicate relatively low levels of diversity achieved by respondents from the commercial radio sector within the BTSR sample.

BTSR noted that, for the broadcast industry as a whole, reports published by Ofcom “indicated that little progress was being made by the industry overall in promoting equality of opportunity”. It concluded:

“Despite several broadcasters taking some action to promote Equal Opportunities, the employment data collected for this report indicates that barriers persist to recruiting people with a disability, in particular, as well as people from minority ethnic groups, to the industry. It has been commented on elsewhere that the broadcast industry lacks a strategic approach to managing equality and diversity. Indeed, the results of this analysis indicate that very few individual broadcasters have a strategic approach to managing Equal Opportunities or diversity”. 

Across its total workforce, the BBC has adopted numerical goals for achieving diversity. The current targets for delivery by December 2012 are:

12.5% from ethnic minorities (actual 12.2% at 31 December 2009)

7% from ethnic minorities in senior management (actual 5.6% at 31 December 2009)

5.5% disabled (actual 4.3% at 31 December 2009)

4.5% disabled in senior management (actual 3.4% at 31 December 2009). 

Skillset’s 2006 Employment Census found that, in BBC radio, 11% of the workforce was from ethnic minorities and noted that “the majority of the BBC workforce (some 60%) is based in London, where 24% of the working population is from an ethnic minority”.  In contrast, it found that only 3% of the commercial radio workforce was from ethnic minorities, a proportion close to the BTSR data.  From this evidence, BBC radio appears to be achieving considerably greater ethnic diversity amongst its workforce than the commercial radio sector.

Analysis of the workforce diversity data for the BBC’s Audio & Music division (also referred to in this report as ‘BBC Network Radio’) at year-end 2009 showed that it achieved above average diversity for gender, but below average for ethnic minorities and the disabled, compared to the BBC as a whole. Much of Audio & Music’s complement of ethnic minority staff was accounted for by two digital radio Networks, 1Xtra and the Asian Network, both of which target ethnic minority audiences. These results highlight the relatively low ethnic diversity in the workforces of the BBC’s longer established radio Networks such as Radio 2, 3 and 4, particularly as all are London-based.

In January 2009, the trade union BECTU and the Radio Independents Group had organised an event in London specifically aimed at encouraging ethnic minority professionals to work in independent radio production. The publicity for the ‘Move On Up’ open day emphasised the significance of the independent radio production sector as a means to secure employment in the radio broadcast industry:

“Working with radio indies is a key route into the industry, and engaging with these executives provides a whole new set of opportunities”.

[Excerpt from my 'independent' 245-page report 'Independent Radio Productions Commissioned By The BBC' for the BBC Trust in 2010]

[Commissioned by the BBC Trust to research, author and present a report on its independent productions to a meeting of its main board, I pursued interviews with BBC Radio managers. Some refused to meet, some never supplied requested data and some merely patronised me, seemingly oblivious that they were public servants whose salaries and generous pensions were funded by the British population. My supposedly 'independent' report was edited line-by-line by the BBC's Gareth Barr who insisted several chapters be expunged into appendices. I was not invited to the board meeting that belatedly considered the edited version of my report which now omitted all appendices (including this and my previous blog post). During my research, the BBC's then Senior Diversity Manager had generously offered me relevant data to create the above chart of BBC Radio workforce diversity. Within months, her ten-year tenure at the BBC ended.]

Energy & Power Quality Meters Market Drivers Include Grid Modernization, Industrial Automation, and Rising Energy Efficiency Needs

The energy & power quality meters market is witnessing substantial growth, propelled by several dynamic and interconnected drivers that span industries and geographies. As energy systems become more complex and demand for uninterrupted, clean, and efficient power grows, the role of power quality meters becomes increasingly critical. These meters help monitor, manage, and optimize power usage while detecting anomalies that could affect system performance. The market’s expansion is being driven by technological, regulatory, economic, and environmental factors, positioning these meters as indispensable components in modern energy infrastructure.

One of the primary market drivers is grid modernization and the growing need for smart energy management. Power grids across the world are undergoing transformative upgrades to meet the rising demand for renewable integration, distributed generation, and energy storage systems. Power quality meters play a vital role in these smart grid initiatives by providing real-time data on power parameters such as voltage, current, harmonics, and frequency. Utilities rely on this information to detect and address power quality issues, reduce energy losses, and ensure consistent delivery across aging and overloaded infrastructure.

In parallel, the rise of industrial automation and digitization is significantly fueling market demand. Manufacturing plants, data centers, and commercial complexes are deploying advanced power quality meters to enhance process reliability and protect sensitive equipment. Automated systems, including robotics and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), require stable and clean power to function optimally. Even small voltage sags or surges can lead to downtime or equipment damage. Energy and power quality meters provide visibility into power anomalies and trends, allowing timely corrective actions and reducing costly disruptions.

Another critical driver is the increased emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. Organizations across sectors are actively seeking ways to optimize their energy usage to lower operational costs and reduce carbon emissions. Power quality meters support these initiatives by offering precise consumption insights, load profiling, and demand tracking. This enables facility managers and energy consultants to identify inefficiencies, correct poor power factor issues, and implement targeted energy-saving strategies. The global push for carbon neutrality and green building certifications further accelerates the deployment of these monitoring tools.

Regulatory mandates and government policies are also pivotal in driving the market forward. Countries across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific have implemented standards and incentives that require or encourage the use of energy monitoring systems. These include mandates for energy audits, minimum energy performance standards, and grid compliance requirements. By helping companies meet these regulations and improve energy reporting, power quality meters not only support compliance but also enhance transparency and accountability.

In the commercial and residential sectors, the demand for uninterrupted and quality power is at an all-time high due to the widespread use of electronic devices, HVAC systems, and smart home technologies. As power quality disturbances can damage appliances and reduce energy efficiency, residential and commercial buildings are increasingly integrating power monitoring solutions. This trend is especially noticeable in high-density urban environments and commercial hubs, where energy usage is intense and continuous.

The expansion of renewable energy systems is another major force shaping the market. Solar and wind installations, both on-grid and off-grid, require precise energy flow monitoring to ensure compatibility with the main grid and avoid voltage fluctuations. Power quality meters enable renewable energy developers and operators to manage bidirectional energy flows, maintain grid stability, and optimize output. As renewable energy becomes more mainstream, these meters will play a central role in enabling a smooth and efficient energy transition.

Technological advancements are amplifying these drivers by making power quality meters more intelligent, compact, and affordable. Modern meters now come with features like remote monitoring, cloud integration, wireless communication, and AI-driven analytics. These innovations make it easier for companies of all sizes to deploy and maintain monitoring systems, even across large or distributed operations. The rising adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms in energy management also complements power quality meters by creating interconnected networks for real-time performance visualization and automation.

Lastly, the increasing frequency of power outages, voltage disturbances, and blackouts due to climate change and grid stress is raising awareness of power quality issues. Businesses and utilities alike are prioritizing investments in power quality monitoring to enhance system resilience, ensure continuity, and protect infrastructure. As power becomes more decentralized and digital, the importance of maintaining quality and reliability cannot be overstated.

In conclusion, the drivers behind the energy & power quality meters market are diverse and deeply rooted in the evolving energy landscape. From smart grids and industrial automation to sustainability goals and regulatory compliance, these forces collectively push the market toward rapid innovation and widespread adoption. As the demand for clean, efficient, and stable power grows, power quality meters will remain central to achieving these energy goals.

Germany wants to dominate EU militarily and wants EU to fight USA tariffs harder

COGwriter

Germany keeps taking steps to lead Europe in various ways.

Notice one related to military matters:

June 9, 2025

Germany’s Defense Awakening

Berlin’s military spending surged to $88.5 billion in 2024, making Germany the world’s fourth-largest defense spender and the largest in Central and Western Europe.

After years of underinvestment and political caution, Germany now allocates 1.9% of its GDP to defense, just short of NATO’s 2% target. This marks a 28% increase from 2023 and an 89% leap since 2015, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

This military renaissance is not merely a response to shifting NATO expectations or American pressure. It is a structural transformation backed by a €100 billion special defense fund, …

Germany is also investing heavily in its ground forces, with acquisitions that underscore a pivot toward mobility, survivability, and networked warfare. …

Germany’s maritime capabilities are receiving a significant boost with:

Three Type 424 SIGINT vessels, modern signals intelligence ships designed for enhanced surveillance.A €4.7 billion deal for four advanced submarines from ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems.Four Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) costing €52.5 million for mine detection and underwater reconnaissance. …

Germany has approved the procurement of Brimstone missiles to enhance the Eurofighter Typhoon’s precision ground-attack capabilities. In parallel, drone and loitering munition programmes are progressing rapidly:

Plans are underway to acquire 147 fixed-wing UAVs, with an option to expand to 600, for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance purposes.AI-enabled loitering munitions such as the Helsing HX-2 and STARK OWE-V are being developed for precision strike operations.

These additions reflect Germany’s desire to operate across the full spectrum of aerial warfare, including unmanned and autonomous systems.

Communications, Satellites & Cyber Capabilities

A modern military must be digitally connected. Germany is investing heavily in communications, encryption, and space systems, including:

A €1.9 billion investment in a Tactical Wide Area Network (TaWAN LBO) for secure land communications.1,350 multi-cryptophones to secure command-level communications.Over 9,000 GPS M-Code receiver cards for encrypted and accurate positioning. …

Germany’s military transformation is more than a budgetary uptick—it is a recalibration of its postwar identity. … Germany has taken the first irrevocable steps toward becoming a “framework nation” in European defense—not just economically, but militarily. https://www.eurasiantimes.com/military-renaissance-in-germany-from-ad-missiles/

‘Meet force with force’

Policy advisors in Berlin are urging a tougher EU response to Trump’s tariff offensive. The message: escalate, take risks and act as a global power.

BERLIN/BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON (own report) – In the face of the Trump administration’s escalating tariff offensive, foreign policy advisors and economic experts in Berlin are urging significantly tougher countermeasures by the EU. …

In order to put a stop to the US trade warfare it is, they say, necessary to “meet force with force”. The situation demands not only the implementation of counter-tariffs but also export restrictions on vital products. For example, the United States depends heavily on Dutch-made lithography equipment used in semiconductor production. The EU must, they say, even take the risk of causing widespread instability on the financial markets. This may be the only scenario that can make the Trump administration back down. These calls for a more aggressive response go hand in hand with ambitious long-term demands: the EU should assume the role of an independent global power. …

The calls for a more offensive response by the EU to the Trump administration’s punitive tariffs are accompanied by demands that the EU should move towards an independent role as a world power. Last week, for example, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen explicitly demanded that the EU must “shape” a “new international order” that “will emerge in this decade”. She exclaimed that, “Our mission is European independence.”[6] Speaking in Berlin, shortly before, the European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde had called for the euro to take on “a greater international role”. Her ambition is for the euro to offer a partial challenge the dollar as a global reserve currency.[7] Berlin, for its part, is seeking to increase military spending to a massive five per cent of German GDP. Indeed, the goal of upgrading the Bundeswehr has explicitly been stated as Germany becoming the strongest conventional armed forces in Europe.[8] The thinking is that such a huge level of spending could eventually enable the EU to become a leading military power on the world stage. In this scenario, Europe equipped with a strong global currency and an independent economic policy could be a global leader – under German leadership. 06/04/25 https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/news/detail/10007

A New Era

Berlin celebrates the formal commissioning of the Lithuanian Brigade with a military roll call. Merz and Pistorius seize the opportunity of the first permanent German military base in Eastern Europe …

In his speech in Lithuania, Chancellor Merz reiterated to an international audience that Berlin’s arms buildup’s objective is to make the Bundeswehr the “strongest conventional army in Europe.” The allies are “virtually demanding this,” 05/30/25 https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/news/detail/9996

Yes, Germany wants the EU to dominate trade. Note that Ursula von der Leyen is also German.

Germany also wants to dominate the EU militarily.

There will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies, including relating to trade, military matters, and tariffs.

Now notice something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?:

Trade …

One of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and other trade matters is that it is motivating nations he has threatened to look to trade more with each other.

Europe will get more serious about trade deals with others internationally …

Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA. This will further push various globalist’s moves forward without the USA. This is also helping set the stage for the coming European Babylonian Beast to dominate international trade. …

the United States, which is a mixture of ethnicities like biblical Samaria, is on the receiving side of the end time biblical prophecies related to Joseph’s son Manasseh. …

The Bible, itself, teaches that the Assyrians will be used to punish “an hypocritical nation” (or hypocritical people, as the Hebrew can be translated as is done in Bishops’ Bible of 1568) that refuses to repent:

5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. 6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation (Isaiah 10:5–6, KJV). … Germany (Assyria)

(Thiel B. Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? Nazarene Books, 2025)

So, are Germany and the European Union taking actions consistent with those predictions?

Yes.

Consider, further, a full quotation of Isaiah 10:

5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? (Isaiah 10:5-11, KJV)

Notice that the above prophecy, which relates to the Germanic people of Europe states, “it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.”

The push to become the dominate military is consistent with that.

To see more scriptures related to future trade, we put together the following video:

Trade Wars – and the Winner will be …

US President Trump imposed tariffs on a global scale. Those tariffs were imposed on friend and foe alike. It seems as if President Trump is no respecter of nations. But how will this work out for the United States? Will these tariffs result in other nations drawing closer together that have had rather cold, and even not so cold, relations in the past? Will global tariffs result in trade wars? Were the events which are happening predicted by any in the Continuing Church of God? Is Europe drawing closer to China? Is Europe drawing closer to Latin and South America? With the exception of a few of America’s allies, is the net result of these tariffs a worldwide scramble to create new alliances and new trading partners to the exclusion of the United States? What will be the future result of these new alliances? Many of the nations that are now seeking new alliances were just recently America’s allies. They were her friends. Dr. Thiel brings to light the fate of America and her allies at the hands of her former friends, as revealed in the book of Lamentations. As we rapidly approach the end times listen in as Dr. Thiel brings to light world events. Then listen as he shines the light of Bible prophecy directly on the questions raised from these world events.

Here is a link to our video: Trade Wars – and the Winner will be …

The idea of Germany wanting to lead is not new. Back in 2022, we put out the following video:

Germany wants to lead a united Europe

Various leaders in German have pointed to a more unified, militaristic, and German-led Europe. After Russia’s ‘special military operation’ into Ukraine, Germany declared it would increase its military spending to the third highest level of any nation on the planet? German-Foreign-Policy.com reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants the European Union to play a powerful and more unified geopolitical role. Does what he is stating consistent with prophecies in the Book of Revelation about Europe reorganizing and turning power over to one called the Beast? Are some in Poland and Hungary (like Peter G. Feher) concerned about the domination of Europe by Germany? Is a European/German leader prophesied as the “King of the North” to make some type of a deal with a leader of nations in the Middle East and North Africa called the “King of the South”? Is that King of the North prophesied to have a great army and many ships? Could the Beast/King of the North be German? Did the old Worldwide Church of God warn back in 1980 that, in the future, the German people be concerned enough about Russia that it would call for a Bavarian strongman to lead them? Does the Bible point to such a leader rising promising peace? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address those issues.

Here is a link to our video: Germany wants to lead a united Europe.

Church of God warnings on trade and military matters are coming to pass.

In the Continuing Church of God:

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (2 Peter 1:19, KJV)

We continue to see international affairs that are aligning with properly explained biblical prophecies.

Europe Day 2025: Ireland's EU Stability & A Final Call for Immigrant Investor Programme Residency

As we reflect on Europe Day and Ireland's more than 50 years as a steadfast European Union member, the nation's allure for global High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) continues to shine. Ireland's commitment to the EU's core values of democracy, freedom, human rights, and the rule of law, coupled with tangible benefits from EU support, creates a uniquely stable and prosperous environment. This setting is ideal for families seeking a secure future, investors looking for strategic European access, and individuals desiring an exceptional quality of life.

While Ireland offers various pathways to residency, one of the most notable, the Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP), has recently closed its doors to new projects. However, for a discerning few, a unique and time-sensitive window remains. GoldGro has access to a limited number of positions within specific, high-quality IIP projects that were submitted to the Department of Justice before the official programme closure. This presents a final, exclusive chance to secure Irish residency through a route that offered unparalleled benefits.

Ireland in the European Union: A Foundation of Stability and Growth

Ireland's deep integration within the EU framework is a cornerstone of its modern success and attractiveness. As highlighted during Europe Day celebrations, the theme "EU and Ireland: Stronger together" is evident across the nation. Substantial EU funding, through mechanisms like the Cohesion and Next Generation Funding (2021-2027), actively supports critical areas:

Boosting regional development and infrastructure: Creating benefits of Irish EU membership through enhanced connectivity and local amenities.

Investing in human capital: Supporting employment, world-class education in Ireland for international families,"and social inclusion programs.

Driving the green and digital transitions: Ensuring Ireland remains at the forefront of sustainable development and technological innovation, key for future-proofing investments in an EU country.

Supporting key sectors: From fisheries and aquaculture to aiding businesses in navigating post-Brexit trade with EU access from Ireland.

This multifaceted EU support cultivates a robust economy and a high standard of living, making Ireland a safe and stable country for living. It enhances the infrastructure, supports key growth sectors that present attractive business opportunities in Ireland for foreign investors, and contributes to the overall quality of life that makes family relocation to Ireland for education and healthcare so appealing.

The Irish Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP): A Look Back at a Premier Residency Pathway and the Current Unique Opportunity

The Irish Immigrant Investor Programme was designed to attract inward investment and create strategically important benefits for Ireland. For many years, it offered non-EEA nationals a clear route to "secure Irish residency for applicants and their families" by making an approved investment.

Successful IIP applicants received residency permission in Ireland for themselves and their eligible family members, with the potential to lead to long-term settlement and eventually Irish citizenship, all while often requiring only a minimal physical presence in Ireland each year. This made it one of the best EU residency by investment programs for global citizens.

The Exclusive Window: Pre-Submitted IIP Project Opportunities with GoldGro

With the official closure of the IIP to new applications, the direct route through this specific programme has ended for most. However, GoldGro, through its extensive network and proactive engagement, has secured a limited number of spaces within select IIP projects that were fully submitted to the Irish Department ofJustice prior to the programme's cessation.

This means that for a short period, eligible HNWIs still have a chance to participate in the IIP through these "legacy IIP slots Ireland" or "pre-approved IIP projects Ireland." These are not new projects; they are opportunities to join projects already in the advanced stages of the process.

Why is this limited IIP opportunity so exceptional for those seeking "EU residency for HNWIs through investment or endowment"?

Access to a Closed Programme: This is essentially the "last chance for Irish IIP investment," offering a pathway that is no longer broadly available.

Potentially De-Risked Projects: These projects have already undergone significant due diligence and were deemed suitable for submission under the IIP guidelines.

Proven Residency Route: The IIP has a track record of granting Irish residency to successful investors and their families, offering a clear path to "living and working in Ireland with EU benefits."

Urgency and Exclusivity: The number of available spaces is strictly limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis to qualifying individuals. This is a truly "time-sensitive investor visa Ireland final call."

This is a critical opportunity for those who were considering the IIP or are now looking for a "premium investor immigration Ireland solution" before such avenues via this specific programme disappear entirely.

Beyond the IIP: GoldGro's Comprehensive Irish Residency Services

While this exclusive IIP opportunity is significant, GoldGro understands that it may not be suitable for everyone, or the limited spaces may be filled. We continue to offer expert guidance on a range of other Irish residency pathways tailored to HNWIs, including:

Stamp 0 Visa for Persons of Independent Means: Ideal for those who can demonstrate significant financial self-sufficiency without needing to work in Ireland. We can guide you through "Stamp 0 visa Ireland for independent means financial requirements" and the application process.

Start-up Entrepreneur Programme (STEP): For innovators with a compelling business idea and funding. Explore "Irish entrepreneur visa requirements and benefits."

Residency by Irish Descent: For those with qualifying Irish ancestry.

Our team provides a holistic service, from initial eligibility assessment to application submission and the full suite of relocation support, including "finding luxury property in Ireland for foreign buyers" and "navigating Irish tax implications for HNWIs."

GoldGro: Your Trusted Partner for Irish Residency – Including Exclusive Final IIP Access

Navigating Irish immigration pathways, especially with programme changes and limited opportunities, requires expert, up-to-date knowledge and meticulous attention to detail. GoldGro is uniquely positioned to assist HNWIs in exploring all available options, including these final, exclusive spaces in pre-submitted IIP projects.

Our deep understanding of the Irish system, our commitment to bespoke client service, and our network of professional partners ensure you receive the highest level of support in "securing your children's future with EU residency Ireland" and achieving your "family relocation to Ireland for education and healthcare" goals.

Ireland's blend of economic dynamism, EU membership benefits, and exceptional quality of life, underpinned by initiatives often highlighted around Europe Day, makes it an outstanding choice for HNWIs. The closure of the Immigrant Investor Programme marked the end of an era, but for a limited time, GoldGro can offer access to pre-submitted projects – a truly unique proposition.

If you are a high-net-worth individual or family seeking the benefits of Irish residency through a well-regarded investment programme, this is a critical moment.

Do not miss this rapidly closing window. Contact GoldGro immediately to inquire about your eligibility and the availability of these exclusive, limited spaces within pre-submitted IIP projects. Let us help you make your Irish dream a reality.
