Menu 
The Irish Exporters Association today announces 59 companies shortlisted across 11 categories in the 17th Export Industry Awards. 11 Category winners and one overall Exporter of the Year will be announced at the annual black tie Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner on Friday, 17th November at the Clayton Hotel Burlington Road, Dublin. The Exporter of the Year will receive a pair of return Business Class flights from Dublin to anywhere on the Etihad Airways network, a special prize from Etihad Airways sponsor of the Exporter of the Year 2017. This is the IEA’s flagship event with over 500 industry professionals in attendance and will include a performance from Mario Rosenstock, Irish actor and comedian.
Speaking about the announcement, Simon McKeever, Chief Executive of the Irish Exporters Association said: “We are delighted to see more and more companies entering the Export Industry Awards. This year we received more unique applications than in previous years. Our Independent Judging Panel was particularly impressed with the competitiveness of the applications and the international opportunities companies from Ireland are winning. Not only did we receive a large number of new companies entering, we also received a large number of applications from past category winners and past shortlisted companies competing to retain title or win back their title.
This programme focuses on providing a platform for the industry to promote their business and receive support from our Platinum sponsors Bank of Ireland, Etihad Airways, KPMG and UCD Smurfit School of Business. Our category sponsors Bord Bia, Dixon International Logistics, Enterprise Ireland, Facebook, GS1Ireland and the Irish Maritime Development Office who support the industry are also fundamental to this initiative.
The IEA wishes all the companies listed below the very best of luck and we look forward to welcoming them into the Export Industry Awards Alumni Programme. For those who did not make the shortlist, the IEA looks forward to working with them on their export journey.”
