In this special edition of our Ibec Responds podcast series, Ibec CEO Danny McCoy is joined by Ibec President Colin Hunt to reflect on their recent high-level global engagements.

Recorded in our Brussels office, the discussion covers Ibec’s engagement in the UK-Ireland Summit and the Tripartite Social Summit, including meetings with the UK and Canadian Prime Ministers, the Presidents of the three EU institutions, and key leadership on Capitol Hill. Engagement at this level strengthens Ireland’s position as a central voice in international policy and economic stability.

The episode provides an opportunity to hear about Ibec's activity and how we are continuing to drive the message of Irish business resilience on the global stage.
