The first half of the visit was part of a Cork City delegation led by Lord Mayor Cllr. Colm Kelleher in Cork’s sister city of San Francisco. The delegation held meetings with the IDA, the Consulate General of Ireland, the Bay Area Economic Council and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. There were other familiar faces too with Cork Chamber members Altada Technology Solutions and Wisetek representing Cork through their permanent presence in the region. The Cork delegation were honored to meet with San Francisco’s Mayor London Breed and march under the Cork banner in the San Francisco’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The representation also met with their Sister City Committee and discussed how to strengthen the economic, tourism and cultural ties between the cities that stretch back almost 40 years.
