Irish Business Network Italy

The Irish Business Network Italy is a network for the Irish community living and working in Italy as well as those Italian professionals with an interest in Irish business.

The Irish Business Network Italy was set up by the Enterprise Ireland Milan office in November 2006 with the following aims:
