Cross-Border Trade and Economic Conference

Dr Anthony Soares, Director at the Centre for Cross Border Cooperation, will join panelists Chris Campbell (Deputy Director, Shared Island Unit) and Professor John Doyle (Vice President for Research, Dublin City University) to discuss growing prosperity on a shared island.

Organised by Dundalk Chamber and Newry Chamber of Commerce & Trade, the conference takes place on Tuesday 4 March in Carrickdale Hotel & Spa from 8am-1.30pm.

The conference programme provides delegates with a unique chance to hear from experts on the issues that matter to cross-border companies and organisations. There will be opportunities for enhanced collaboration with other stakeholders in the cross-border economy.

With great local and global economic uncertainty and the cost of doing business creating a challenging business environment, businesses need to plan for the future and help build a sustainable, successful All-Island Economy.

Covering the themes including the All-Island Economy, Business Supports, Skills & People and Growing Prosperity on a Shared Island, senior government representatives, keynote speakers, policy officials and business advisors will set out the shape of future cross-border cooperation and their priorities for the region.

The organisers have secured an impressive line-up of speakers with fewer presentations allowing extra time for interactive panel discussions, and questions from the floor.
