Breakfast Seminar: Building Blocks for 2040

Past Event: This event happened on Thursday, 17th October 2019.

By 2040, it is expected that the population in Ireland will have increased to nearly 6 million people, resulting in a requirement for 660,000 additional jobs that need to be created, and highlights the need for infrastructure to support this population increase.

Project Ireland 2040 is the Irish Government's long-term overarching strategy to make Ireland a better country for all its people. The plan outlines the proposed changes in how investment is made in public infrastructure in Ireland.

• Project Ireland 2040 - Timelines and Update

• Impact of Brexit
• Challenges faced in delivering large infrastructure projects

The event is being held in conjunction with the German Irish Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
