Irish opportunities to take advantage of the emerging dominance of Asian economies are to be explored at a conference organised by the Irish Management Institute (IMI) today.
The conference will focus on innovation in science, technology and business. It will scrutinise the developments made by China, India and South Korea in these fields and how Ireland can benefit from it.
Dr Tom McCarthy, chief executive of IMI, said the event will provide a fascinating insight into the economy and emerging markets in Asia. "The event will explore how Europe can compete or partner with these emerging markets, and our progress to date," he said.
"We have a distinguished panel for the specialist forum, where we will explore the implications of the report for business in Ireland." Charles Leadbeater, the author of an 18-month study on the subject, will present his findings to the delegates.
