Irish Estonian Business Network Mission Statement
The objective of the IEBN
has been
to establish a network of people who are interested in developing business cooperation in and between Estonia and Ireland, in particular business-to-business,
education, tourism
and culture. This year the IEBN planned and hosted a series of events, with the aim to build and expand friendship to all Irish and Estonian business and cultural communities. We focused on areas of interest to our 60 members, the network is a means to learn from and help each other. We wish to create value for our members by facilitating linkages between like minded individuals and provide access to business and trade chambers, business networks & state agencies. The IEBN is a non-profit voluntary organisation. Membership is free! IEBN is the first NGO in Estonia to create a network specifically focused on promoting trade and business relations between Estonia and Ireland.Slide3
