I’m delighted to share some very positive news with you this week. The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) Ireland, one of the services delivered by Cork Chamber, has been recognised with the prestigious title of “Best Agency Support to Business” at the Chambers Ireland InBusiness Recognition Awards 2025.
This recognition reflects not only the outstanding work of the EEN Ireland consortium, but also the deep impact of the service right here in Cork. For us, it’s more than just an award, it’s a clear endorsement of the power of collaboration, international partnership and tailored business support in driving success for our region’s SMEs.
Since its inception in 2008, the Enterprise Europe Network has supported thousands of Irish companies in accessing international markets, finding global partners and unlocking EU funding. It is a shining example of how EU-level initiatives, when delivered locally, can create tangible and lasting value for businesses.
