 Enterprise Ireland announces increase in trade from Ireland to Canada
Ireland Inc. is proud to report an increase of 22% in trade from Ireland to Canada for 2010. The underlying story behind the figure is naturally complex but highlights the positive nature of the Canadian market for Irish based companies. The strength of the Canadian economy in the face of a global downturn, the ease of doing business and the matching of the Irish supply base to demand are contributing factors.
Enterprise Ireland works with indigenous Irish companies that are exploring and seeking opportunities in the Canadian market. These companies come from a range of sectors such as software, life sciences and machinery equipment. Some of the success stories to date include Curam Software, who provide Social Enterprise Management software to Canadian authorities, Advanced Innovations who supply mobile handsets to Public Mobile and Multi Hog providing sweeping machinery across Canada.
