Fostering Irish exporters in the southern region of Ireland

The monthly meetings strengthen the connection between the IEA and its regional members, The meetings are an opportunity for business networking and is a means to find collaborative solutions within the business community. The meetings directly contribute to our communications and public affairs work.

This close connection allows members to engage directly with the IEA to find and develop specific solutions to challenges facing our members on a day-to-day basis.
