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.
