Intertrade Ireland provided both funding and project support to allow Biosensia accelerate our RapiPlex core product development.” Diarmuid went on to say “I encourage all Irish indigenous SME’s to think globally and act globally to achieve their goals and to seek the assistance of Intertrade Ireland in supporting those goals”
Mr. Richard Bruton TD, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation commented, “Government does not create jobs, people and businesses do; and the role of government is to create an environment in which those businesses can prosper. I am determined to do everything I can to reduce costs, improve access to finance and encourage innovation so that good businesses can expand and create the jobs that our economy and society so badly need. If there is one thing Ireland - north and south - does not lack it is enterprising, creative, hardworking people, and I look forward to working with them to discuss what government and small business together can do to get people back to work”.
Over 65 companies from across Ireland attended the event with government representatives, including Ministers of State, TDs and Senators. Local Dublin representatives in attendance on the day included Joe Costello TD, Paschal Donohoe TD, Maureen O’Sullivan TD, Brendan Ryan TD, Terence Flanagan TD, Peter Matthews TD, Olivia Mitchell TD and Senators Catherine Noone and Mary White.
