Welcome
A Chairde,
Welcome to the Irish Business Network, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thank you for visiting the IBN website. Networks and networking are essential to making business contacts, positioning products and services, sharing experiences, and ultimately identifying two-way business opportunities for ourselves and other businesses from Ireland.
Saudi Arabia is the largest economic market in the Middle East. Many Irish businesses have successfully done business here over the years, and new companies (across multiple sectors) are entering the market on an ongoing basis. This is an exciting time of change in the Kingdom, and with this change comes many new opportunities. The IBN welcomes these developments.
We are a volunteer group of professionals who work to create opportunities for sharing experiences, assisting newcomers to the market, and also expanding the awareness of Irish business and business people with the Saudi and other expatriate communities.
The IBN was founded in 2015, and we are delighted to be able to provide support and service to Irish Professionals and Businesses.
I invite you to explore our website, please feel free to register with us, and we will then be able to invite you to upcoming events and to avail of new support and services which we are planning for the future. If you have any feedback, I and the IBN committee are only too pleased to hear from you.
On behalf of the IBN Committee, we look forward to meeting you at one of our upcoming events.
With sincere regards,
Anthony Gavin
