The Q3 2026 Economic Trends survey of Cork Chamber members gathered insights into their experiences of doing business across July, August and September 2026.

Sponsored by PTSB, this edition of the Economic Trends survey also sought members’ views on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the workplace. 

“AI is already having a positive impact on Cork businesses, with many reporting enhanced growth and competitiveness and predicting further improvements as digitalisation continues. Cork businesses are clearly ambitious about the opportunities offered by AI, and this ambition must now be matched by government support and investment," Susie Horgan, Cork Chamber President.
