Growing exports to stimulate economic recovery and grow the Northern Ireland economy
Invest Northern Ireland launched its Go Further Grow Stronger exporting campaign earlier this month.
Go Further Grow Stronger aims to make businesses which have previously focused on domestic sales aware of the breadth of opportunities which exist right on our doorsteps.
Northern Ireland’s business landscape is predominantly comprised of micro, small and medium sized enterprises – so for many the prospect of tackling international markets may be a step too far. However, the reality for many of these businesses is that by targeting neighbouring markets they could access a much bigger customer base quite easily.
For example, both the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain are within easy reach of Northern Ireland and represent an audience of 70 million people.
To sell goods in to either of these markets from Northern Ireland, there are no additional administrative requirements or regulatory checks.
Currently there are around 25,000 local companies already successfully selling into these markets.
The demand for products and services from Northern Ireland is growing.
