Russian boost for Irish exports

 

Irish Minister for Trade & Commerce Billy Kelleher has announced that deals for new export sales worth over €9m were signed by Irish firms during this week's trade mission in Russia. The mission was timed to coincide with Irish President Mary McAleese's official visit. Thirty leading Irish firms were represented on the mission, which was organised by Enterprise Ireland.

 

The firms were from a range of sectors including engineering, construction, food and drink, education, business services and information communications technology. Irish high-tech firms Digisoft, Adaptive Mobile, OpenJaw and Norkom Technologies were among those companies that landed lucrative new sales deals.

Trinity College Dublin and Dublin Institute of Technology also announced partnership agreements with higher education institutions in Russia.

Irish exports to Russia grew by over 66% in the first five months of this year, while Ireland is the seventh largest provider of foreign direct investment to Russia - ahead of the US and Japan.
