The US Ireland Summit was held as a precursor to the European Economic Summit, which will be hosted in Mount Falcon Estate and Ashford Castle, Mayo, Ireland in June 2022.
Six months into the Biden-Harris Administration, we have already seen great strides being made to rebuild and strengthen the relationships between the island of Ireland, the EU, and the US.
The summit brought together a global audience of business executives, political leaders, economists, and media to host productive and informative conversations around the impact of stronger US-Ireland relations and examine how these will act as a catalyst for opportunities on both sides of the Atlantic.
