NI companies urged to explore Middle East market
Fifty companies with their sights set on Middle East markets gathered in the Hilton Hotel today for Invest NI’s briefing on its support services in the region.
Addressing the delegates at the breakfast seminar, Professor Fabian Monds, Chairman of Invest NI, urged local businesses to explore export opportunities in the Middle East by using the support offered by the agency's in-market adviser based in Dubai.
Commenting on the Middle Eastern market, Prof Monds said: “The Middle East is a valuable market for Northern Ireland companies. Northern Ireland exports to the region are valued at £85 million but there is room for growth.
“Companies wanting to find out about trading procedures and market prospects, to link up with distributors or agents, or to establish trading partnerships will find that our Middle East support services will act as a gateway to information and opportunity."
Delegates were also encouraged to use the Northern Ireland Technology and Development Centre in Dubai. The centre offers a fully equipped office location combined with customised business development support for local technology companies wishing to set up a base in the Middle East.
It is also available to visiting companies looking for a supportive environment while doing business in the Dubai area.
