Business Ireland Cape Town (BICT) is an association that facilitates business networking opportunities for its members.

We provide a platform and support structure for sharing information on business experiences in Cape Town and Ireland, including local context, knowledge, opportunities, challenges, lessons learnt and interpretations of the countries’ evolving statutory and regulatory environments.

BICT is an initiative of the Embassy of Ireland in Cape Town and was launched in December 2013 during the visit of former Minister of State for Trade and Development Joe Costello. Prior to that, a group of Irish business people had formed a more informal network that met to discuss some of the bottlenecks for doing business in Cape Town and to identify areas of common interest and concern.
