Republic of Ireland Development Conference

Thursday, 26th November 2020 1100hrs – 1545hrs

This virtual event will look to highlight development opportunities and regeneration schemes across the Republic of Ireland whilst looking to drive investment and economic growth into the country.

The Republic of Ireland has become a hub for global investment – and the country wants to see this continue. We’ll not only look at thriving cities like Dublin – but we’ll look across the wider country at the ambitious development plans being proposed – from commercial projects and data centres, to new towns, the ever growing BtR sector and placemaking.

We’ll do this by gathering key decision makers and stakeholders from the public and private sector – with short presentations, exclusive information and expert insights being shared.
