WINNING IN THE NEXT ECONOMY

The next economy will be a digitally enabled economy. How attractive Ireland is as a base for digitally enabled enterprise will determine our ability to attract and create the jobs necessary to recover and prosper.

Globalisation, new technologies and increased competition for knowledge jobs have served to upend the competitive landscape for Ireland. The winners in the next economy will be the nations that have a pro-enterprise culture, a world leading digital infrastructure and adaptability as a core tenet of their enterprise policy. This is a future into which all Irish leaders - private and public - must opt now.

At The Digital Ireland Forum, our leading keynote speakers will be joined by Ireland’s technology CEOs, who will take part in mediated panel discussions, before an invited audience of c-suite executives and senior policy makers, on the key issues that need to be tackled to enable Ireland to be a winner in the next economy, including:

•  Ensuring an enterprise friendly culture in a digital age
• Attracting and nurturing the knowledge professionals
• Creating a workforce with the skills for the next economy
• Access to next generation infrastructure
• Becoming the location of choice for tech MNCs and Startups
• The industries that will be winners in the next economy
• The imperative of adaptability of policy in an age of rapid change.

EVENT FORMAT

Given our busy c-suite audience, this will be a breakfast forum (8am – 10.30am), with short presentations from each keynote, followed by lively panel discussions with Ireland’s technology CEOs, and opportunities for the delegates to question the panel. The audience will include an invited audience of Ireland’s leaders in public and private spheres.
