What can you expect from the Irish Business Network?
the IBN as an event organiser
the IBN will invite guest speakers to talk on various business themes, relevant and of interest to members. It is envisaged these events will occur three to maximum four times a year. Scheduled events will be communicated to members well in advance.
The IBN as Network Facilitator
there will always be ample opportunity for networking at IBN events, but it is equally important that members have the capacity to communicate with each other whenever they choose using Social Media such as LinkedIn.
Who's behind the Irish Business Network?
Enthusiastically supported by the Irish Embassy in Austria and Enterprise Ireland, the IBN is run by a voluntary steering committee of 4 people from diverse industries with many years of collective business experience in Austria and abroad.
