Network + Getwork Scotland
The Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to bring you a forum aimed at introducing companies to procurement decision makers in a number of large organisations in Scotland as part of the InterTradeIreland Network+Getwork programme.
The First ever event under the Network+Getwork programme to go off island is aimed at suppliers to the public sector. The event will consist of a network of 50 companies (SMEs) from across the island of Ireland and from Scotland who regularly supply into the public sector or companies who wish to break into the market for the first time. The buyers involved will all be from Scotland based public sector organisations
So What’s New?
NICCI recognises that suppliers often are supplying to the major public bodies on the Island of Ireland and now they wish to move forward to other geographic areas, we aim to service that desire. so the difference in this Network+Getwork event is that you, the supplier, will be involved in a unique event that targets buying organisations off the Island
Why Scotland?
The aim of the Network and Getwork Scotland event is to open up new trading relationships with the Island of Irelands closest geographic trading partner.
An added benefit to this unique event is that it will allow consultation between companies who supply between the Island of Ireland and Scotland and will encourage collaboration and co-operation between companies who wish to start or increase exports to Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland or Scotland.
