Keynote presentation

“THE PROFIT PARADOX”  by Prof. Dr. Jan Eeckhout

Date: Thursday 9 December at 9:30

In his book The Profit Paradox, Prof. Dr. Jan Eeckhout describes how, over the past forty years, a handful of companies have reaped most of the rewards of technological advancements—acquiring rivals, securing huge profits, and creating brutally unequal outcomes for workers.(…)
Drawing on his own groundbreaking research and telling the stories of common workers throughout, Jan Eeckhout demonstrates how market power has suffocated the world of work, and how, without better mechanisms to ensure competition, it could lead to disastrous market corrections and political turmoil.

Participation is for free but registration is mandatory.

The Belgian Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce

invites you to a virtual meeting with Brian Hayes, CEO at the Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland

“Irish banking in a post Brexit world – challenges and opportunities.”

Brian served as a member of both houses of the Irish Parliament from 1996 to 2014. In 2011 he was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of Finance and attended Eurogroup and ECOFIN meetings on behalf of the Irish Government. On election to the European Parliament in May 2014 Brian was appointed to the European Parliament’s Economic & Monetary Affairs (ECON) Committee. He started his current role in 2019.

BLCC Annual BBQ hosted by Kilcroney Furniture & our President Anny Verwijs

Our annual BBQ hosted by Kilcroney Furniture and our President Anny Verwijs went down treat this year. Despite the heavy rain in the morning and a lot of make shift tarpaulins, the sunshine eventually shone to put a big smile on everyone’s face.

The kids enjoyed an Emoji bouncy castle while the adults indulged in succulent steaks, lamb chops and delicious salads.

The wine and Belgian Beers were downed with much gusto and laughter whereas the desserts were definitely the stars of the day.

A great time was had by all and we added another successful event to the calendar of the BLCC in Ireland.

A wonderful time was had by all at the Belgian National Day Reception hosted by The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium and Mrs Pierre-Emmanuel De Bauw.  It was such a well organised event with delicious food, excellent wine and of course the traditional Belgian Chips & Beer!

The weather was very kind and we were able to enjoy the ambiance of the garden with the beautiful sound of the Jan Lozad Trio with a moving rendition of the National anthems of Ireland and Belgium.

The staff were extremely helpful and attentive and it was wonderful to see different nationalities all celebrating the Belgian National Day.

An Evening with the Ambassador of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

We would like to cordially invite you on board the former tender ship, the MV Cill Airne for a Belgian after-work network event on Thursday 19^th of April.

The aim of the event, which is supported by organisations with a Belgian / Irish link, is to create a new, casual, periodically returning platform for all Belgians and people with a Belgian connection in Ireland, to get to know each other and at the same time, highlight the organisations supporting Belgians abroad.

The Belgian Ambassador, HE Pierre-Emmanuel De Bauw as well as representatives of the Belgian Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Ireland, Vlamingen in de Wereld, Union Francophone des Belges à l’Etranger and Beleire will welcome you on board.

Enjoy a few snacks and a welcome drink, during a relaxed and fun evening with a Belgian flavour.
