MicroTrade is a networking initiative designed to help small businesses build contacts and markets across the island of Ireland. The programme is delivered by a three-way partnership comprising the County & City Enterprise Boards, Enterprise Northern Ireland and InterTradeIreland.
MicroTrade, working with Enterprise Northern Ireland, will facilitate a trade mission to Belfast aimed at helping Enterprise Board client companies to explore opportunities in the North.
Prior to the trade visit, MicroTrade will consult each participating company to identify their needs and interests. We will then work with a range of local business organisations to line up relevant meetings with potential clients, suppliers, partners and advisers.
