In its 21^st year, the Export Industry Awards recognise the tremendous achievements of companies working in international trade, in Ireland.

Throughout this first stage of the judging process, our independent panel was very impressed by the high calibre of entries. This year, we have seen how businesses that align themselves with the values of environmentally and socially conscious consumers, position themselves well for long-term success in a rapidly changing global marketplace. Exporters are witnessing the value of adopting ESG practices and how they can help access new markets, lower costs, and increase brand awareness.

As ever, I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to our Platinum and Category sponsors, for their continued support which allows us to run our flagship event. A special thank you and appreciation to Mr Aidan Cotter, Chair, and our panel of independent judges for the time and effort they give the judging process.

To our shortlisted businesses, the very best of luck to all of you. I look forward to seeing you at our black-tie Export Industry Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner on September 22^nd, as well as welcoming you to our Alumni Masterclass hosted by Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin on Monday, 19^th June.”
