InterTradeIreland supports SMEs across the island to identify and develop North/South trade and innovation opportunities. We do this through:
• Business funding and programmes, advice and services
• Research
• Networks & partnerships
Since 2003, we have helped more than 15,000 companies with cross-border information and business services and over 1,800 SMEs have participated on our trade and innovation programmes. As a result, in excess of £400 million worth of business value been generated with additional returns forecasted as projects complete and benefits are realised. In addition, over 900 jobs have been created or sustained through our programmes.
Taking an all-island approach to trade and innovation, we encourage better use of our joint resources to accelerate business growth across the island and help to create an environment where it is easier to do cross-border business.
