EDITORIAL FICC

 

Dear FICC Members,

It is hard to believe we are already half way through 2024 – and what a year so far! You will find below a graphic summary of all we have achieved.

We were honoured in June to be awarded the “Best Performing Small Chamber” within the network of 118 French chambers worldwide while attending the CCI FI meetings in Paris and Marseille. This achievement is a reflection of all the work and collaboration between our members and partners associated with the dynamic Franco-Irish business community in Ireland so congratulations to all involved!

We have also just launched the “Call for Applications” for the Ireland France Business Awards 2024, in partnership with NetworkIrlande.  The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday 13th September.

This is an amazing opportunity to showcase your business’ achievement to the Franco-Irish business community and we do hope many of you will apply this year.

Also delighted to see that our award winner “Newcomer of the Year 2023” – Réaltra Space Engineering – featured all over the news yesterday as they provided the on-board technology systems for the launch of the new European rocket launch vehicle, Ariane 6. Félicitations Réaltra!

As we head into the Olympic Games that start at the end of July in Paris, we wish all our French and Irish athletic teams the best of luck – très bonne chance!

Finally we wish you all a “Joyeuses Fête Nationale!”
