Business opportunity in US for
Donegal businesses
27.04.17
BUSINESSES across the
North West including Inishowen are being offered the
opportunity to become part of a cross-border trade
delegation trip to Boston in November.
Expressions of interest are now being sought for the
2017 Trade and Investment Mission to Boston for
local companies with aspirations to break into the
US. The trip is being jointly organised by Derry
City and Strabane District Council and Donegal
County Council.
Twelve companies in total will be included in the
delegation sourced from both the Derry and Strabane
and Donegal County Council areas. They will be
accompanied by the mayors and chief executives of
both councils and key partners. |

Cathaoirleach of
Donegal County Council, Cllr Terence Slowey said:
“The trade mission offers some unique opportunities
for local businesses to engage with key economic and
government decision makers, as well as market
professionals.
“It’s a great chance to gain some valuable market
insight and establish lasting connections through
business to business meetings with potential
partners, agents and distributors. Those personal
connections can prove invaluable when trying to
stand out in an increasingly competitive business
arena.”
O’Neills Irish International Sports Company Limited
joined the same trade mission last year and
recommended it for any firm with "serious
aspirations" about doing business in the Boston and
Massachusetts areas".
