About the Export Industry Awards 

The Irish Exporters Association’s Export Industry Awards in its 23rd year is the premier event for recognising the achievements of Irish Exporters and has been growing in strength and recognition each year. It is important that we highlight the exporting companies and service providers who have excelled across the industry despite some difficult trading conditions and that we highlight these companies who have been fundamental to Ireland’s success.

Exporting businesses have been an essential part of Ireland’s global success despite incredibly difficult international trade conditions over recent years. The Export Industry Awards allows us to celebrate those Irish businesses that continue to succeed in an increasingly uncertain world and who have been fundamental to Ireland’s success. Over 500 export industry professionals will attend the black-tie gala event on 3rd October at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre.
