A delegation of Northern Ireland technology companies has travelled to the US and Canada on a five-day trade mission to bag export business and build partnerships.
A total of six companies have taken part in the Invest NI-organised trip which will visit Atlanta, Georgia and Toronto. Steve Baker, Minister of State for Northern Ireland, will join the group in Canada.
The trip will be led by Andrea Haughian, Executive Vice President, Head of Americas for Invest NI, who said Northern Ireland’s tech companies have a lot to offer the US market.
“We’re pleased to be giving some of Northern Ireland’s leading tech companies a platform to demonstrate their expertise and develop key partnerships here,” she said.
The companies on the list are from across the tech sector and number Datactics, Regtick, Niice, Instil, Ocula Technologies and Audit Comply.
Brendan McCarthy, Senior Business Development Executive at Datactics, said the north American market is a key focus for his business.
“North America has always been at the forefront of innovative approaches to data quality management and is home to major customers of ours in financial services, retail and healthcare,” he said. “We’re delighted to be working with Invest Northern Ireland to continuously engage the market here, visiting clients, exploring new opportunities and making the most of their networks in Atlanta and Toronto. Many thanks to Invest NI for running this mission and showcasing firms like ours on the ground in North America."
