Minister Departs To Lead Trade Mission To The USA
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, departs today to lead an investment and trade mission to the USA.
This is Minister Bruton's 24th major investment/trade mission since his appointment 44 months ago and follows on from a recent trip to the east coast of USA. As part of its strategy to support increased exports and jobs, this Government has more than doubled the number of trade missions since taking office.
The IDA Ireland mission to Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Chicago follows the Ministers mission to east coast USA in recent weeks, and involves a total of 22 meetings and events.
These include 14 one-on-one meetings with target and client companies, as well as further group meetings and events in which the Minister and IDA will engage with a total of 41 multinational companies considering investing in Ireland.
This mission forms part of a programme of engagement by the Government with multinational companies on Ireland's offering, including talent, technology as well as corporation tax.
Minister Bruton said: "Foreign direct investment is at the heart of our jobs plan. Since we took office, multinational companies have added more than 18,000 direct jobs in Ireland – with major knock-on employment across the country – and our aim is to deepen and broaden that impact even further."
