Galway has always been a place of ideas, energy, and ambition, a city and county where creativity and community spirit go hand in hand. From the bustling heart of the city to the scenic corners of Connemara, Galway is home to an extraordinary range of businesses that not only serve their local communities but also reach national and international audiences.
Galway Grown celebrates this entrepreneurial spirit, shining a spotlight on the innovation and dedication that makes our county unique.
Across food and drink, health and wellness, retail, professional services, and creative industries, Galway-grown businesses continue to thrive. Our local food and hospitality scene is a source of pride, with award-winning producers crafting everything from artisan teas to freshly made juices, and restaurants and hotels that blend tradition with modern flair. These businesses bring the taste of Galway to tables across Ireland and beyond, while also keeping sustainability and community at the heart of what they do.
Wellness and healthcare are also flourishing, with skilled professionals providing essential services in podiatry, holistic health, and therapies that support body and mind. These are businesses built on trust, care, and expertise, and they reflect Galway’s long-standing commitment to looking after its people.
Retail and design are equally vibrant. From boutique shops to family-owned outlets, Galway businesses showcase craftsmanship, creativity, and an eye for quality. They not only keep our high streets lively but also carry Galway’s distinct character into every product and service.
Professional and specialist services also stand out in this feature, from engineering and consultancy to planning, finance, and beyond. These companies underpin growth and innovation in the region, ensuring Galway continues to lead in delivering sustainable infrastructure, smart solutions, and future-focused projects.
What unites all these businesses is their rootedness in Galway. Whether long-established or recently founded, each represents the ambition, resilience, and imagination that define the county. Together, they demonstrate that Galway is not only a place of rich culture and heritage but also a thriving hub of enterprise.
Galway Grown is a celebration of this spirit: the people and businesses who, every day, shape our communities and carry Galway’s name with pride, both at home and abroad.
