IoD Webinar Reshaping the Economy in the Wake of COVID-19 and Brexit

29 October 2020 9:30am

As part of our ongoing work to share exclusive content and insights with members, we are delighted to invite you to join our upcoming webinar entitled, 'Reshaping the Economy in the Wake of COVID-19 and Brexit' with Julie Sinnamon, CEO, Enterprise Ireland.

COVID-19 has brought many unseen challenges in relation to the sustainability of businesses. On foot of their strong 2019 performance, some companies, fortunately, came into this crisis in a healthy state. Furthermore, Brexit planning put many businesses in a good position to begin the reshaping of the economy, however, many are still facing challenges. 

In this webinar, Julie will discuss the following key elements:

  • Liquidity: The pandemic has placed sudden and immediate pressure on companies’ working capital and liquidity.
  • Customer demand: COVID-19 has reduced customer demand for products and services globally. For some companies this impact has been immediate, for others it will become more apparent in Q4.
  • People, logistics and supply chain issues: Movement of people and products has placed increased challenges on companies, resulting in increased operational costs. 
  • Enterprise Ireland’s response to the pandemic: This will include looking at how Enterprise Ireland is working with Irish businesses and Government to support the regeneration of Irish enterprise.
  • 2020 - A Challenging Year: This year has been the most unexpectedly challenging year for businesses and business leaders.

Please note, there will be a live Q&A facility for this webinar.
