Chris Kelly is the CEO and co-founder of Tracworx, a startup he created with two friends during their first year in college. He loves building technology with sustainability benefits that solve large-scale global business challenges.
Today, Tracworx does just that by generating unit-level data to transform supply chains from business enablers to core business decision-makers. Asset tracking at a unit level delivers better business decision intelligence and reduces losses in areas such as returnable packaging, providing an ROI for Tracworx customers and the planet.
Tracworx was honoured as the Best Startup in Ireland at the Seedcorn InterTradeIreland competition in 2019 and has attracted €5 million in funding. Chris's work at Tracworx has also garnered global recognition, earning him numerous prestigious accolades, including being listed as a top 50 entrepreneur in the EO GSEA. He is also a multiple past winner of Limerick's Best Young Entrepreneur.
In addition to his business success, Chris has received academic awards, including the Intel Paul Whelan scholarship. He achieved third place in Europe in the European Space Agency competition CanSat.
