About this Event

Underneath business plans, innovation, and growth trends likes a powerful force that is forever guiding the markets—one defined not just by commercial priorities, but by alliances, conflict, and a shifting world order.


This session explores how geopolitics drives financial trends, from trade wars to real wars and beyond. You’ll learn how the decisions of nations ripple through stock exchanges and supply chains, and why understanding politics is key to anticipating the directionality of global investments and capital flows.

Venue: The Spencer Hotel, Excise Walk, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, D01 X4C9
