Boston College is hosting a three-day programme on foreign direct investment in Dublin this week.
The college’s global leadership institute will examine the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the context of global strategy for Ireland and the United States.
The programme will be delivered in conjunction with Irish Times Training.
Participants will investigate how to use FDI as part of global business development and how they can evaluate US and other international markets for expansion. Boston College faculty will lead the programme, which runs from Wednesday to Friday, and which will include meetings with key FDI managers and organisations.
“The mission of this programme is to bring together executives looking to attract and utilise FDI for their individual organisations by way of studying recent trends of investment from US affiliates into Ireland, Irish firms into the US, and other developments in global business,” said Robert Mauro, director of the Global Leadership Institute at Boston College.
