Guaranteed Irish is hosting a round table gathering at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dublin on Friday May 10, focused on developing the knowledge economy and positioning Ireland as a world leader in the provision of professional services.
The not-for-profit business membership organisation champions more than 600 homegrown and international businesses in Ireland, and will develop the outcomes of the round table into a submission to government, outlining the supports required to ensure the continued success of the sector and how it can capitalise on the changing business landscape.
Chief executive Brid O’Connell (pictured) said: “Ireland’s professional services sector continues to be a core driver of economic growth in the country, and we’re committed to supporting businesses in Ireland as they look to promote that expertise around the world and develop a true knowledge economy.
“The UK’s departure from the EU will offer further opportunities for Ireland to establish itself as a global leader in the provision of financial, legal and regulatory services, and our round table event will give attendees in-depth insights into the innovations set to drive the sector into the future.”
