Ireland-Wide Business In Focus
A cross-border business initiative has taken place in Co Fermanagh.
The Bridging the Border event was one of a series of similar events around Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland that have been delivered in conjunction with InterTradeIreland and Enterprise Ireland.
More than 100 local business people attended the seminar in Enniskillen.
They heard expert advice on the range of opportunities for co-operation that are available with companies from the Republic of Ireland, and even further afield.
Carol Keery, Invest NI's Director of Innovation, Research and Technology, said: "There are significant economic benefits for local companies that pool their resources with a cross-border enterprise.
"Teaming up with another business with complementary capabilities during the current climate is an excellent and mutually beneficial way for local companies to punch above their weight and does not require a sizeable financial outlay." she said.
"Cross-border collaboration can help firms take forward a wide range of activities, including new product development, accessing international markets and subcontracting.
"Business partnerships can enable small firms to bid for, and win, work that might otherwise be out of reach, providing valuable additional revenue for both partners."
