Firms gather for debut Corkmeet

MORE than 300 companies have signed up for the first networking event of its kind in this country, which kicks off in Cork this week.

Corkmeet is a speed dating-type event for companies and it is expected to provide a major boost to the Cork economy. It has attracted companies from the US, Slovakia, Poland and Romania.

The event is funded and organised by Trading Link Cork, a partnership between Cork County Council, Cork County Enterprise Board, Cork City Enterprise Board and Cork Chamber. The Irish Examiner is the media partner of the event.
