Founded in 1965, the annual event showcases innovative projects from secondary school students in the areas of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). 

Smurfit Westrock’s culture of innovation is the bedrock of the company, from its 2000-strong team of designers to the people who are integral to the science of paper making. The packaging leader also had a long-term research partnership with UCD in the area of women in STEM. 

“As a leader in sustainability and innovation, we are delighted to be part of such an iconic youth event focused on science and creativity. It also gives us an opportunity to engage with all the innovators who are potential colleagues and partners of the future,” said Garrett Quinn, Chief Sustainability Officer with Smurfit Westrock. 

Deirdre Cregan, Group VP of Talent & Learning at Smurfit Westrock, added: “We share Stripe’s passion for promoting STEM education and are keen to support the next generation of innovators in this country. Our team is really looking forward to meeting these talented young scientists at the event in January.”
