Where Ireland and Portugal do business.

Partnering with IPBN events in Porto and Dublin has helped increase our visibility among Irish partners and strengthened our connections with businesses looking to operate in Portugal. The network creates meaningful opportunities to build partnerships between the two markets.

IPBN provided visibility, community support, and direct access to professionals open to collaboration and new ideas. The network helped us refine our proposition, connect with early adopters, and build the relationships needed to expand Witfy across the Portugal–Ireland business corridor.

IPBN increased our visibility and connected us with valuable partners and clients. The network opened doors to collaborations that strengthened our relocation and business setup services and helped Innovate360 build stronger relationships while growing internationally.

Connecting with experienced IPBN members gave me the confidence and motivation to grow my network and move forward with my business. It’s incredibly valuable to have the support of professionals who understand the realities of doing business between Ireland and Portugal.

IPBN membership strengthened our network, expanded our visibility, and directly contributed to the growth of the PURUS brand. Through the network we developed key partnerships, engaged with investors and collaborators, and gained valuable insights into sustainability, hospitality innovation, and international business development.

IPBN networking events helped us understand where to invest next. Conversations with members across different regions provided valuable insight into local telecom needs, and partnerships with legal members have created a steady flow of new customer referrals.

IPBN offers access to a high-quality network of peers who understand the realities of building and scaling businesses across borders. Conversations within the network challenge assumptions, broaden perspective, and have helped shape strategic decisions around growth, hiring, and long-term planning.

IPBN delivered real value for me this year, both personally and commercially. Living between Portugal and Ireland, the network helps me stay connected to the Irish business community while bringing insights and relationships from Portugal into the conversation. Through events and member relationships we developed several partnerships that generated new revenue and opportunities — strengthening my ability to build bridges between the two markets.

IPBN facilitated introductions to key partners in the technology sector and provided a high-level platform to share our ‘Human-AI Alliance’ message. The network’s peer support and insights into the Portuguese business environment have been invaluable as we scale our business between Dublin and Lisbon.

IPBN has supported us at some of the most important moments in our journey in Portugal — from helping us establish our original company and build our corporate structure to introducing the professional advisors we needed. More than a network, it has provided trusted guidance, strategic insight, and lasting relationships that have shaped our business internationally.

The IPBN has been instrumental in supporting my business and the development of the UnBox™ Programme. Through their exceptional network and resources, IPBN has enabled me to expand my connections and exposure to small businesses across Ireland and Portugal, creating opportunities to collaborate with Portuguese businesses and widen my reach. Their unwavering support – whether through their supportive podcast, active support on LinkedIn, or at networking events – has been invaluable. IPBN exemplifies what a business network should be: a community that fosters meaningful connections, celebrates innovation, and champions the success of its members. I am deeply grateful for their encouragement and the platform they have provided to help me grow my business.

IPBN membership has been a catalyst for business growth, collaboration, and exposure for Figs on the Funcho. It has facilitated meaningful connections across various industries, contributing to the sustainability, innovation, and overall success of our business.
