Enterprise Ireland, the government export agency and the third largest seed investor in Europe, is undertaking trade mission to Scotland this week to highlight the business prospects for collaboration across the Irish Sea.  The mission – the largest in recent years – is being led by the Irish Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys TD and Deirdre McPartlin, Enterprise Ireland UK Manager. It comes amid concerns over Brexit, particularly the prospect of a ‘hard border’ between the UK and Ireland. With 56 Irish companies participating on the trade mission to Scotland, it aims to promote Scottish-Irish collaboration and raise awareness for the scope and scale of the opportunities in Scotland.’
