Bloomberg New Economy Gateway Europe Conference – Dublin

The inaugural Bloomberg New Economy Gateway Europe conference will convene outside of Dublin on the 19th and 20th of April.

Held in partnership with IDA Ireland, a world leader in investment promotion and development, and Enterprise Ireland, who helps innovative Irish businesses go global, the Gateway event will bring together policy makers, business leaders and preeminent thinkers under the guiding theme of “Reglobalization.”

The event will explore topics critical to the growth and prosperity of Europe. This includes the near-shoring of supply chains, access to energy supplies, the build-out of semiconductor capacity, safeguarding the innovation pipeline, regulatory authority and continental security.

Among those confirmed to speak are Pablo Hernández de Cos, governor of the Bank of Spain and board member of the European Central Bank; Lila Ibrahim, chief operating officer of DeepMind; Michael O’Leary, chief executive officer of Ryanair Holdings; and Andrea Orcel, group chief executive officer and head of Italy at UniCredit SpA.

Sessions on the Gateway Ireland program include Europe’s Role in a Divided World, The Green Energy Gold Rush and The Brussels Effect. The full event programme can be found here.

The Gateway event will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement taking place in Belfast.

Delegates at the invitation-only Gateway Europe will also have access to breakout discussions on topics ranging from AI, trade and cybersecurity as well as a networking platform to ensure high-level interactions and opportunities to share observations and learnings from the conference.

First launched in Panama in May 2022, the Gateway series builds on the flagship Bloomberg New Economy Forum, held annually in November, and draws on insights developed in Bloomberg New Economy’s five editorial pillars: Finance, Commerce, Sustainability, Resilience, Security.
