18TH SEPTEMBER
MANSION HOUSE, DUBLIN 2
Golden Era of Opportunity for Irish Businesses in the Arab World
Ireland needs to diversify its international trade and FDI exposure, reduce its inordinate dependence on the US and prioritise growth markets, particularly in the Arab world, where there is significant potential for Irish businesses.
These were the findings of a new report from economist, Jim Power, which highlights the importance of looking beyond traditional markets to achieve export growth, which is crucial for economic prosperity.
It is against this backdrop, together with the global economic challenges over which Ireland has little or no control, that the fifth Arab-Irish Business Summit will take place. Jointly organised by the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise Ireland, Bord Bia and the Department of Foreign Affairs, the event will be held on Thursday, 18th September 2025 at the Mansion House Dublin, and will highlight the extensive business opportunities in these growing markets.
