Seventh Annual 'China Ireland Business Summit Cork' Taking Place Today And Tomorrow
This year's summit is hosted by Asia Matters in partnership with the city and county councils, and Munster Technological University
It's a virtual summit but organisers say it will be highly interactive with Video Networking Sessions, a Meet-the-Speaker-Section and Partner Booths.
Government leaders and trade delegations from Jang-soo, Shanghai and Beijing are in attendance.
It features 50 expert speakers from a huge array of organisations including the Diageo, Moody's, Bord Bia, Northern Trust, Cartoon Saloon and Teagasc.
The CEO of Asia Matters, Cork native Martin Murray, says interest in this year's event is at a record level because businesses are keen to embrace opportunities in the China-Ireland partnership post Covid-19.
