What will shape the future of business in Ireland and Europe?
About this Event

Join us at the Trinity Long Room Hub for a special public event marking the Trinity European Laureate Award 2026, presented to Danny McCoy, CEO of Ibec, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to European business and economic thought.

Following the award presentation and laureate address, a distinguished panel of leaders in economics, finance, and European policy will discuss the forces reshaping business today. From the economic consequences of Brexit to the rise of artificial intelligence, global conflict, and the shifting balance of international trade, the conversation will explore how businesses and policymakers must adapt to an increasingly uncertain world.

Panel speakers include:

Dr Frances Ruane MRIA, former Director of the ESRI

Richie Boucher, former CEO of Bank of Ireland

Frances Fitzgerald, former Tánaiste, Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, and Senior Advisor at Teneo

Chaired by Conor Brophy, Managing Director of Teneo.

This timely discussion will consider Ireland’s place within Europe’s evolving economic landscape and ask what lies ahead for business, policy, and society.


This event is run in accordance with Trinity’s Dignity and Respect policy, and its commitment to nurturing a respectful and inclusive research culture.
