The event, which takes place from 10.30 am to 1.00 pm, is being organised by the Enterprise Europe Network at Cork Chamber, in association with the Ireland Canada Business Association.
Why should I attend?
The seminar will offer attendees the opportunity to learn about the opportunities for increased Ireland-Canada trade arising from the CETA agreement. As Irish companies respond to the outcome of the Brexit vote, many are looking to target new export markets, as an alternative to the established UK market.
A light lunch, kindly sponsored by Irving Oil, will be provided on the day. Read more about the event here or contact Eimear for further information. |
