Profile

The two economies on the island of Ireland face similar challenges arising from the increasing pace intensity of global competition.

Both governments have agreed that cooperation across a range of areas - including infrastructure, innovation and enterprise development - can benefit everyone.

InterTradeIreland plays a unique role in helping the two governments improve economic conditions by:

- undertaking research that highlights and makes recommendations on the benefits of increased cooperation

- developing and delivering programmes to help companies take advantage of the business opportunities available across the island

- supporting networks that enable businesses to share their experience and expertise, develop new products and identify new markets

InterTradeIreland, the Trade and Business Development Body, is one of the six cross-border bodies established under the Belfast Agreement, 1999.

Mission statement

InterTradeIreland's mission is to enhance the global competitiveness of the all-island economy to the mutual benefit of Ireland and Northern Ireland through measures such as the creation of knowledge-intensive all-island trade and business development networks and the implementation of all-island trade and business development programmes.

Strategic Objective 2005-2007

InterTradeIreland's key strategic objective for the period 2005-2007 is to increase the number, effectiveness and value of all-island trade and business development networks.
