NetworkIrlande Lyon Year-End Event

An eventful and informative year end kicked off for the Franco-Irish business community on December 12th in Lyon with the launch of a report compiled by Darragh McElligott mapping Irish businesses with a presence in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comte regions at the NetworkIrlande France annual year end reception. The full report can be accessed in English HERE et en français ICI.

The event was hosted by Ciara de Mora and the team at the Consulate General of Ireland in the wonderful Théâtre L'Île Ô. We were honoured with the presence of Mr. Neale Richmond TD, Ireland's Minister for Business, Employment and Retail who spoke of the strengthening business relationship between France and Ireland built on a very solid foundation of historic ties between our two countries. H.E. Niall Burgess, Ambassador of Ireland to France and Honorary President of NetworkIrlande, echoed those sentiments and celebrated the first year anniversary of both the Consulate in Lyon and the NetworkIrlande Lyon chapter.

This is the fourth event we have held in Lyon since the launch of the chapter at the end of last year and we look forward to developing our agenda of events even further in 2024.
