Click here to download Enter the Eurozone BrochureOne of the world’s most dynamic, prosperous and stable markets is on your doorstep. The Eurozone offers significant and untapped opportunities for Irish companies.
Enterprise Ireland has developed a unique programme to help you take advantage of these opportunities. Our new ‘Enter the Eurozone’ programme aims to open Europe’s doors to ambitious Irish exporters.
Delivered by ESMT European School of Management and Technology, Berlin, the programme is also supported by one-to-one Business Advisors led by IMS Marketing who support companies to develop a European market entry plan.
This award-winning programme has been recognized by EFMD (Worldwide Management and Training Association) for its impact on the more than 100 Irish companies that have undertaken it.
The programme is aimed at CEOs and one senior colleague of Irish companies currently exporting with no significant presence in a Eurozone market.
The next programme is starting shortly and like the previous programmes, is likely to be oversubscribed. An early application (“click on apply now”) is a tie breaker during the shortlisting of companies invited to join.
