Events

Public procurement provides an extensive opportunity for revenue generation for ICT companies in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. To allow members the opportunity to maximise this, Momentum and the All-Island Software Network, in conjunction with InterTradeIreland, are pleased to present an overview of the landscape in both regions. The event will cover potential project areas for ICT companies in the public sector by looking at past, present and future projects and will allow companies to consider how they approach the market in terms of profile, networking and potential collaboration with partner companies. It will also provide an introduction to the procurement process in the public sector. The key speakers will draw on their extensive experience in their respective regions.
