Dr. Deirdre Giblin:

There is huge scope, especially as Mr. Doyle-Kelly said, around the fact that many of the companies that have their Europe, Middle East and Africa, EMEA, headquarters here, have other headquarters in a variety of places, including the ones Mr. Doyle-Kelly talked about, in Montreal. When we were in Vancouver a few weeks ago, I spoke with the ministers responsible for labour, enterprise and education, who said that memorandums of understanding, MoUs, may not be worth the paper they are written on. What happens next that is most important. That is where the employer piece comes in. Higher education institutions can speak to other higher education institutions. We also need to talk about further education institutions talking to other further education institutions. The community college base, the further education piece, is a huge thing in Canada. We need to build the relationships further down the education hierarchy. Employers are key to that. Through a combination of the organisations present talking to the relevant people in Ireland and Canada, something substantial and tangible could happen, whether in artificial intelligence, AI, robotics or otherwise.
