until the start of the Southern Construct Summit & Exhibition 2023
The fifth annual CIF Southern Construct Summit 2023 is the must-attend event for the entire construction sector in Cork. You will hear from the contractors, developers, investors and local authorities who are seizing the opportunities and bringing forward major exciting projects in the region.
Cork has a thriving knowledge technology ecosystem and its rapidly growing investor base is making full use of the world-class research, development and innovation (RDI), top-level educational, business collaboration and sector support for which the city and region has become famous. Cork has a very good track record in attracting global foreign direct investment (FDI) and providing the perfect platform to both large, established multinationals and high-growth scaling companies. It must retain its attractiveness for FDI and maintain investment and growth in infrastructure to enable economic activity to flourish.
