Ireland France Chamber of Commerce (IFCC)
IFCC is Ireland's third largest International Chamber of Commerce, with 150 members based in Ireland, and 150 members through our Sister Chamber (CCIFRL), in France. IFCC represents a network of up to 35,000 employees in Ireland and over 2.5 million employees worldwide.
The Chamber has developed an extensive programme of events and services for 2010, building on the success of our ambitious programme last year. The overal aim of our 2010 programme is to support the increase of trade between Ireland and France, and to attract potential investors to both countries. As the Director of IFCC, I would encourage organisations with business interests in Ireland and France to join us as members in 2010, and optimise on the opportunity to meet like-minded business professionals who are leaders in developing Irish-Franco business.
Now that we are at the start of a new decade, it is an ideal time to embrace change and be creative. I would invite you to contact our office directly with your suggestions, as members, on how we can improve our programme to meet your business needs and make 2010 a success for you.
