Across extensive swathes of business research and analysis, it is accepted that sales grow faster, more jobs are created, and staff usually earn more in exporting companies. Exporting companies also cope better with upheavals in their economy, and are more likely to stay in business, than those that just sell domestically.
Ultimately, exporting is professionally and personally enriching. Through exporting, businesses are exposed to new ideas, new sales and marketing techniques and different ways of competing that will be stimulating and that may help them develop new products and services. In virtually every respect, the challenges from exporting into new markets will help companies to raise their game, enhance skills and boost longevity and success.
Whether you are getting started in your export journey or refining your export strategy, careful research, planning and support is an absolute necessity.
This free event focuses on providing growth-focused companies with sources of export-focused support. You will hear directly from the key stakeholder groups such as Invest NI, Local Council, InterTradeIreland and the Department of Business & Trade as well as from businesses that have successfully availed of the support options provided by these organisations and come away feeling inspired and ready to make the most of exporting opportunities.
