Discover CAdFE's Annual Gala 2024

On June 13, CAdFE organized its third Summer Rooftop Party. The evening program began with inspiring words from CAdFE President Violaine Champetier de Ribes, who shared CAdFE’s extraordinary journey and future aspirations.

Afterwards, Signe Riisalo, Minister of Social Affairs, addressed the participants, emphasizing the importance of social initiatives and collaboration. Peter Thomsen, President of FICE (Estonian Council of Foreign Investors), then took the floor 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, where Jean-Marc Salsa highlighted the many events and initiatives undertaken by CAdFE. Alice Järvet introduced Elizaveta Puzirevska and her Mini Grown project, as she was unable to attend. Elizaveta is the winner of our second entrepreneurship competition for Ukrainian women in Estonia. The team behind Fruitiki, last year’s winners, also took the floor to talk about their journey and achievements since their victory.

The French ambassador, H.E. Emmanuel Mignot, gave a speech recognizing CAdFE’s contributions to the French community in Estonia. Likewise, the Ukrainian ambassador, H.E. Maksym Kononenko, expressed his gratitude for CAdFE’s support of Ukrainian entrepreneurs and the community in general. A touching moment followed when Mykola Kononenko, son of the Ukrainian ambassador, read a poem by Victor Hugo in French, adding a cultural touch to the evening.

Finally, after reflecting on the successes of the past year, we looked to the future of CAdFE. Guests were invited to vote for their favorite type of event, helping to shape the association’s next program.

The sun was shining after a downpour 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 business, with promise for the season ahead.
