Asia Pacific Ireland Forum comes to Dublin

SINCE its establishment in 2007, the Asia Pacific Ireland Business Forum has become the leading annual business event for Irish professionals based in the Asian and Gulf regions.

Speakers include Dr T.P. Hardiman of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation; Terry Woods of the Asian Development Bank; Liam Casey, PCH, China; Sean O’Driscoll, Glen Dimplex; and Tom Coyner, Soft Landing. Korea.
