The Offer

We would like to invite your company to participate in a trade mission to Dublin, Ireland. This Welsh Government supported mission offers an exciting opportunity for businesses of all sizes to connect with businesses in Ireland.

Why Ireland?

Ireland is Wales 2nd largest export market, which demonstrates the close trading relationship between our 2 countries. With good transport links, same language, similar legal system and a good perception of UK products and services, Ireland is a good market for new exporters.

To assist you in exploring the opportunities in Ireland, there will be a series of in-market events where you can obtain key market information and meet key contacts.

The Welsh Government can also help your business to arrange meetings in the region either with like minded companies or potential customers via our export trade support programmes and our Welsh Government office on the ground in Dublin.
