The Global Irish Economic Forum To Focus On Job Creation
The Global Irish Economic Forum will focus on opportunities for job creation and economic growth, Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Eamon Gilmore, T.D., said as he delivered the opening address at Dublin Castle.
More than 260 of the most influential Irish and Irish-connected individuals from around the globe – members of the Global Irish Network (GIN) – are in Dublin to provide the Government and Irish business with advice and expertise in sectors with a high-potential for job creation.
This year's event was specifically designed to support the Government's Action Plan for Jobs. Following intensive consultations with the Network, this forum places a greater emphasis on Irish small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Opening the Forum, which is organised by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Tánaiste said: "Over the next two days, 260 of our most successful entrepreneurs and businesspeople from home and abroad will take part in 18 working groups and six panel discussions focused on sectors that can deliver jobs and growth. These include financial services, food and agri-tech, higher education, social innovation and the digitisation of the global economy.
"These topics are all closely aligned with the Government's Action Plan for Jobs. There will be a particular emphasis on employment opportunities for young people and in creating the conditions for returning emigrants to avail of jobs and business opportunities in Ireland."
