EDITORIAL FICC

 

Dear FICC Members,

It’s hard to believe we’ve already reached the halfway point of 2025 — and what a dynamic year it’s been! Below, you’ll find a graphic snapshot of all we’ve accomplished together so far.

We’re pleased to share a performance overview of the 120 French Chambers of Commerce around the world, presented by Arnaud Vaissié, President of CCI France International. The results speak for themselves: a strong and growing network, with consolidated global revenues reaching €90.1 million — a 12% increase over 2023. You’ll also find highlights from the France Ireland Chamber of Commerce’s own achievements within this positive momentum.

Looking ahead, don’t miss our upcoming Brittany Ferries Lunch on September 13th in Ringaskiddy, held aboard the Pont-Aven. Spaces are limited, so make sure to book early — we look forward to seeing many of you there!

We’re also excited to announce that the Call for Applications for the Ireland France Business Awards 2025, in partnership with NetworkIrlande, is now open. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your company’s success within the Franco-Irish business community. The deadline for submissions is Friday 12th September, and we encourage all eligible businesses to apply.

This summer, we’re delighted to welcome four new members to our network: BBL Groupe, Clark Hill Solicitors, Deloitte Ireland, and ABGI Ireland. We look forward to working with you!

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Happy Summer!
