Danny McCoy - Ireland: A Model of Substance
Channel: IIEA
Date: 2020-01-10

Ireland could be described as a frontier, resource economy where the intangible resources are intellectual property embedded in corporate assets. The surge in activity in the last half decade is creating significant imbalances in private/public infrastructure and employment ratios. In his address, Danny McCoy examines how the scale of the business footprint can be used to underpin productivity rather than diminish competitiveness through greater public-private partnerships and a new social contract.
