EDITORIAL FICC

 

Dear FICC Members,

We are almost at the end of another fantastic year for FICC, but it’s not quite over yet!  We have a lot of exciting events lined up for you in the upcoming weeks.  We look forward to seeing you all as we finish off the year with full momentum. 

To begin with, we wish to extend a very warm welcome to our new members, DFBL, Iciar Cheese Bar and Aideen Cardiff and look forward to welcoming many more new members in 2026!

Continuing the strong partnership between FICC and NetworkIrlande, the Ireland France Business Awards 2025 will take place next Thursday 13th November at the Shelbourne Hotel Dublin. This event, with Official Partner AXA, is the highlight of our yearly programme, when we recognise outstanding business performances in France and in Ireland, acknowledging the extent of bilateral trade between us and reward the pursuit of excellence. We are so looking forward to this prestigious event in the presence of Peter Burke T.D., Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, and our 300+ high profile business guests from both France and Ireland. Good luck – bonne chance ! – to our nine award category nominees!

On 18th November we have our monthly LE Network session, kindly hosted by EirGrid and on the 26th, we will participate to the French Film Festival organised by the Irish Film Institute for a special screening of Love Me Tender.

Finally, time is running out to avail of our early bird offer for our Annual Christmas Lunch.  Book before Friday 7th November and take advantage of this special price to join us as we celebrate the festive season at the iconic Westbury Hotel, with special guest Kingsley Aikins!

À très vite !
