On June 13 CAdFE held its third Summer Rooftop Party. The evening's agenda began with inspiring words from Violaine Champetier de Ribes, President of CAdFE, who shared CAdFE's amazing journey and future aspirations.
Next, Signe Riisalo, the Minister of Social Affairs, addressed the attendees, emphasizing the importance of social initiatives and collaboration.
Peter Thomsen, President of FICE, (the Foreign Investors' Council of Estonia) then took the stage to offer his perspective on the year's activities and the valuable partnership between FICE and CAdFE.
This was followed by a detailed presentation of CAdFE's activities for the year 2023-2024, Jean-Marc Salsa showcased the numerous events and initiatives undertaken by CAdFE.
Alice Järvet presented Elizaveta Puzirevska and her Mini Grown project, as she couldn’t join. Elizaveta is the winner of our second edition of business competition for Ukrainian women in Estonia. Last year's winner, the team behind Fruitiki, also addressed the gathering, reflecting on their journey and achievements since their win (to help them expand their businnes https://www.hooandja.ee/projekt/fruitiki).
The French Ambassador, H.E. Emmanuel Mignot, delivered a speech, acknowledging the contributions of CAdFE to the French community in Estonia. Similarly, the Ukrainian Ambassador, H.E. Maksym Kononenko, expressed his appreciation for CAdFE's support to Ukrainian entrepreneurs and the broader community. A touching moment then followed as Mykola Kononenko, son of the Ukrainian ambassador, read a poem from Victor Hugo in French, adding a cultural touch to the evening.
Finally After reflecting on the past year's successes, we looked ahead to the future of CAdFE. Guests were invited to vote for their favourite type of events, helping to shape the association's next program.
The sun shone brightly, after a heavy shower and our guests enjoyed a buffet and drinks on the terrace in a relaxed atmosphere. It was a wonderful evening of socializing and networking, and a fitting way to round off our second year of activity and a good omen for the future saison.
