The new, two-year, phase of InterTradeIreland’s Network+Getwork programme which aims to help 150 companies across the island generate more than £3m worth of business has just recently been launched.

The programme, which gives small businesses North and South the opportunity to win contracts with some of the island’s biggest procurement organisations, has already helped 900 small companies generate more than £1.6m of new business.

Network+Getwork is an exciting trade development initiative to help small companies to explore cross border business opportunities with some of the island's largest procurement organisations. The programme is aimed at all SMEs, Chamber members or not, seeking to raise their game in relation to the requirements and expectations of large buying companies, city administrations and multinational companies.

There will be opportunities for small companies servicing and supplying a wide range of sectors, such as tradeable services, food, tourism retail, construction, engineering and environmental.
