EVENT OVERVIEW:
Newry Chamber in partnership with Invest NI and Fortior Insight, is hosting a Members Only Event on The Opportunities of Dual Market Access for businesses based in the Greater Newry Area on Thursday 20th February from 9am – 11:30am at Invest NI’s Regional Office at Drumalane Mill, The Quays in Newry.
Despite the huge uncertainty in Global Trade Markets following the imposition of trade tariffs by US President, Donald Trump and the subsequent retaliation from impacted countries, Newry finds itself in a potentially unrivalled trading position.
With Newry’s location on the threshold of both the UK and EU Markets alongside its Dual Market Access, our region now has a huge opportunity to trade on a scale never seen before.
By embracing the Dual Market Access to both the UK and EU Markets and taking advantage of potential UK Free Trade Agreements, Newry has the potential to become the Gateway City to market for many companies across the globe.
We will hear from Peter Curran, Head of Dual Market Access at Invest NI about how your business can maximise the opportunities of Dual Market Access.
We will also hear from Jonathan Walsh, Director at Fortior Insight, who will advise companies on how to navigate the latest regulations and seize the opportunities that are available in our region.
