Bilateral Trade Promotion Unit

Our Work | Publications | Contact Us

The main focus of the Unit is to promote the development of Ireland’s exports to world markets. This is achieved by working closely with State agencies and other Government Departments, in particular Enterprise Ireland and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in the development and coordination of the programme of Ministerial-led overseas trade missions (undertaken jointly with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) and other promotional events, and assisting in the coordination of inward trade related visits.

We also facilitate the coordination of direct Government to Government contacts, whether formal or informal and ensure that any difficulties that may arise can be addressed.

The Unit compiles up-to-date and comprehensive data on exports and imports with our main trading partners and maintains close contact with the Irish based embassies of these countries.
