The sold-out Business Ireland South Africa networking breakfast in Joburg was a great success!
The very vocal cross-sectoral group was brimming with ideas on how to collaborate with each other and create opportunities between Ireland 🇮🇪 and South Africa 🇿🇦.
There’s so much energy to be harnessed from the hashtag#business hashtag#community with only optimism shining through after the hashtag#election2024 yesterday!
Thanks to all who attended and contributed to an enlightening morning. We will be back very soon for Part 2 of the BISA Breakfast Series in Joburg!
