NASC CONNECT NASC CONNECT Nasc means connect in Irish. The core of our business is providing the right connections to people, advisors, and investors. We also focus in providing a bridge for Diversity and the Global Diaspora and enabling individuals and companies to be successful in the Global marketplace. With 80 million people globally of Irish descent, Ireland’s Diaspora is an untapped commercial force. Coupled with the increasing globalisation of Irish professionals either within teams in large multinationals or as sole traders has led us to develop the following services: sourcing Global Irish/Diaspora Talent and introduction to Senior Diaspora for Mentoring, Advisory and Board Placement.
