Text
I recognise the importance of trade missions and their contribution to the delivery of my economic plans. In September, I travelled to the US and Canada with 12 innovative technology companies, receiving universally positive feedback. I met business leaders and politicians to strengthen transatlantic relationships and launched the Canadian Advisory Council to support the North's trade and FDI strategy. Recently, I returned from a technology mission to Singapore, in collaboration with Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland, with seven fintech companies, which led to positive business opportunities. The mission reflects my commitment to fostering collaboration across the island for greater economic impact. Last month, eight companies participated in a successful multi-sector mission to Mexico with Invest NI, marking the first mission since the new office opened.
