I was recently in Shanghai for a week as part of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year annual retreat. I was nominated last year and as one of the alumni I attended the World Expo in Shanghai with over 70 Irish business people, and spent some time meeting local businesses and networking with each other.
As part of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year nomination, a trip to Rio and San Paolo in Brazil was organised in June for over 60 entrepeneurs. This was an exceptional opportunity to see Brazil and network with the great and the good of Irish business. Business presentations and meetings punctuated the day and our hotel looked out onto the Copacabana beach.
