Go East Trade Mission Launched

Businesses throughout the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area interested in exploring new opportunities in the Indian market are being encouraged to sign up for the new Go East trade mission.

Following a pilot earlier this year, the council has launched another trade mission to help ambitious local companies explore, target and exploit business linkages in India.

Go East will run from August to November 2018 and enlisted companies will have the opportunity to:

• receive extensive one to one support

• carry out bespoke prospecting to identify

• approach and arrange a minimum of five meetings with potential business partners prior to a 4 day market visit to Mumbai and Pune.

Open to all businesses located in the borough, Go East is aimed at those who wish to either export to or source from India.

Regaining its title as the world's fastest-growing economy, India represents an immense potential for commercial development making it the perfect market for our thriving business community to capitalise from.

As the most economically active area outside Belfast, the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon borough is already home to more than 8,000 business and is an increasingly important contributor to the Northern Ireland economy, accounting for more than 11 percent, or £3.7 billion, of total economic output.

Recruitment for the Go East trade mission is now open. To find out more or to register your interest, please contact Amy Bell at Full Circle Management Ltd on 028 9069 1027 or email amyb@fullcircle.eu.com.
