Do you have an idea for a Business Start up that has the potential to Export from Ireland?
posted on October 3rd, 2011
Dear GAA Member,
As an ECB GAA member coming to the GAA ECB Football Championships and Shield in University of Limerick on November 5th 2011. You may have achieved success in your professional life outside of your success as a GAA member in Europe and you may be considering setting up your own business? If your planned new business is targeting international markets, Ireland may be the best location for your Start Up!
In addition to the various strengths that have attracted world leading players such as Google and Pfizer etc, please see the following facts about Ireland:
Ireland is a great Place for exporting companies
• Irish exports grew very strongly over the last couple of years and are now higher than ever before.
• Largest net exporter of Pharmaceuticals in the World
• World’s second largest exporter of computer and IT services – behind India and ahead of Germany, the UK and the United States.
Ireland has increased in Competitiveness
• Rents, professional fees etc. have fallen
• Quality personnel are easier to find, retain and are more affordable
