Event Details

Dublin Chamber is shaping the city's future through the Dublin Agenda series, addressing key megatrends affecting global economies, societies, and cultures. As a small, globally connected city, Dublin must navigate these changes to maintain its competitive edge and ensure long-term prosperity.  

Date: 
Wed 03 Sep 2025
Time: 
08:30 AM - 10:15 AM
Venue: 
The Camden Court Hotel, Camden Street Lower, Dublin D02W086

The next Dublin Agenda Series discussion will address the challenge of balancing decarbonization efforts with maintaining competitiveness. It will explore government and business frameworks for transitioning to a low-carbon economy and how these can be integrated into broader strategies for enhancing industrial competitiveness and resilience. 

The Dublin Agenda Series is focused on facilitating dialogue and collaboration between government, businesses, and other stakeholders to address these critical issues. The discussion will aim to provide insights and recommendations for businesses to successfully navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy while maintaining and enhancing their competitiveness.

 

Our expert panel-led discussion will cover in particular: 

  • Energy Security & Efficiency: Optimising energy consumption across sectors. 
  • Sustainable Transportation: Future-proofing public transport and infrastructure.
 

Why Attend

This is not a technical discussion—it is a strategic one. The decisions made now will shape Dublin’s competitiveness, liveability, and economic resilience for the next generation. For senior leaders, this event offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with the infrastructure and strategic thinking that will define the city’s future operating environment.
