The world is in greater flux than we have experienced in our lifetime. The rise of populism, the seismic impact of Brexit, the opportunities (and risks) of increasing globalism, and the emergency facing our climate have all been thrown into sharp focus in recent years and will undoubtedly dominate policy-making for years to come. The Global Economic Summit ’24 will aim to meet these challenges head on, by bringing key decision-makers, thought leaders and heads of industry to Ireland, to shape our shared future.

Ireland has long shown itself to be a critical player on the world stage, and its role as a bridge between the US, Europe and the Rest of the World has never been more critical. Ireland sits on the UN Security Council, holds a vital role in the EU’s continued negotiations with the UK, and is the cornerstone of a strong US-Europe partnership. It is a trusted trade partner, a valued business hub, and a centre for global research.

The West of Ireland is on the frontier of Europe. Entrepreneurialism, innovation, respect for the environment and collective effort define the spirit of this new frontier. There is no better place to map out the solutions to our shared concerns – nor to grasp our shared opportunities – than Ireland, and its Wild West.

We look forward to welcoming you to the West of Ireland in 2024. Make sure you don’t miss out. Keep abreast of developments here on our website including our announcement on dates and venue.
