Celebrating the impact of Irish Women in Brussels

Ibec Global was honoured to host a special event on 29 January, along with the Embassy of Ireland to Belgium and the Permanent Representation of Ireland to the European Union, bringing together Irish women in Belgium to celebrate St. Brigid’s Day. From early-career to the top decision-making tables, Irish women are working in Belgium to make a difference across all sectors and industries and this networking event brought these women together to celebrate their achievements.

We were privileged to be joined by: Ambassador Aingeal O'Donoghue, Permanent Representation of Ireland to the European Union; and Dr. Angela Byrne from Trinity College Dublin, inviting guests to discover the Yeats Sisters exhibition, and artist Louise Ní Chuilinn, aka Selkies, reminding us to continue celebrating women's creativity today.

Supporting an improved digital future for Ireland and Europe

On 30 September 2022, Ibec Global welcomed Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager, EU Commissioner for Competition and Chair of the Commissioners' group on a Europe Fit for the Digital Age, as a guest speaker at our event “Ireland as a leader in a strong, digital EU”. She spoke to the over 200 in-person attendees at the event in Trinity College Dublin about the challenges faced by Europe and the crucial role digital policy has in addressing those challenges. She added that ‘the ideas and creativity within the business community can play a central role in powering us onwards, towards a new digital future'.
