Minister Leads Enterprise Ireland Trade Mission To Turkey
The Minister for Trade and Development, Joe Costello T.D., is leading an Enterprise Ireland trade mission of 25 companies to Turkey to boost trade between the two counties.
The visit, which starts today, is being organised in cooperation with the Irish Embassy in Turkey.
The participating companies are drawn from a wide range of sectors with particular growth potential in Turkey such as Financial Services, IT for Travel, Education, ICT & Telecoms and Medical Technologies.
During his visit the Minister will also hold discussions with key Turkish government ministers and senior officials on trade and economic cooperation. Announcing the mission, Minister Costello said: "Turkey is one of Europe’s largest economies and presents a compelling growth opportunity for Irish companies. Turkey is already a significant trading partner. Irish exports to Turkey have developed strongly reaching over €238m in 2011 and our combined trade is worth over €1bn.
"This trade mission will help grow Irish business opportunities in Turkey and encourage mutually beneficial collaborative business ventures. Over the course of our two-day intensive itinerary, we will emphasise the quality and innovation of the participating companies and reaffirm that Ireland is open for business."
