Building Bridges Between Ireland and Spain Since 2008
Connecting professionals, students and organisations across Spain and Ireland.
Our Story
SIBN began in 2008 when a group of Irish and Spanish professionals decided to create a community that made it easier to share ideas, meet people, and explore opportunity across both countries. What started as a few informal meetups in Madrid has become a thriving network of students, professionals, and companies — connected by shared experience and an open, welcoming community.
What We Do
We bring people together through business, culture, and collaboration.
We help students studying in Spain connect with each other, find mentorship, and access internships or entry-level opportunities.
We create networking spaces and sector groups that make it easy to meet peers, share insights, and grow your career in Spain.
We give companies visibility, partnership opportunities, and access to talent while supporting trade and collaboration between Ireland and Spain.

How We Work
SIBN is run by a volunteer committee made up of members from both Irish and Spanish backgrounds. We collaborate closely with chambers of commerce, government bodies, and local partners who share our mission to strengthen ties between the two countries.
