InterTradeIreland is helping firms gain the knowledge, skills and capability to access the cross-border market. We’re supporting companies to establish and grow exports with our flexible and tailored supports, including our new Trade Export Pathway, offering bespoke, funded support tailored to specific needs. Whether you’re a first-time exporter or an advanced exporter, InterTradeIreland can also help you fund and recruit a sales professional through the Acumen programme. (Eligibility criteria applies)
In addition to sales supports, our Go-2-Tender practical workshops and company specific mentoring supports can help SMEs improve the odds of tendering successfully for public sector contracts.
