COMPANY DIRECTORY
TAOISEACH’S INTRODUCTION
I was delighted to have welcomed Vice-President Xi Jinping to Ireland for his official visit last month. That visit was a great honour for our country and it was hugely successful in terms of forging closer links between Ireland and China and also creating a stronger awareness of what Ireland has to offer, thanks to significant coverage of his programme by the Chinese media. His visit had a hugely positive impact in further strengthening the bonds of goodwill and friendship between Ireland and China, particularly in relation to trade and investment. I was delighted to accept the invitation to visit China and by leading this Trade Mission I intend to build on the momentum and goodwill already generated. Specifically, Vice-President Xi’s visit was of major significance in highlighting the opportunities for Irish companies to work with local partners and customers in accessing growth opportunities in China. Since Ireland and China first exchanged diplomatic relations in 1979, annual bilateral trade has grown from e7 million to over e6 billion. China is now Ireland’s tenth largest trading partner and our biggest trading partner in Asia. More than 240 Irish companies are exporting to China and 140 of them now have offices in the market, employing about 10,000 Chinese workers locally. We want to build on this success and I am confident that this Trade Mission will be a springboard for deeper engagement. Irish companies have been working hard to build a strong awareness and a positive image of Ireland in China. Our similarities are greater than our differences and we share an enthusiasm for enterprise and innovation. We have many business skills and competencies that complement each other very well in terms of selling into world markets. I wish all trade mission participants and their current and potential Chinese customers and partners every success over the next few days and of course over the coming months and years, as you deepen and develop your business relationships.
Enda Kenny Taoiseach, Government of Ireland

MINISTER’S INTRODUCTION
China is a modern, dynamic and consumer driven economy with a wealth of opportunities for Irish and Chinese business to work together and generate income and value. I’d like to assure you of the Irish Government’s full support in developing trade and technology links between the two countries. Visits by Irish Government Ministers to China now occur on a regular basis, and are reciprocated by visits to Ireland by high-level counterparts. The official visit of Vice-President Xi Jinping to Ireland last month was an honour for our country and reflects the strengthening and deepening of the already solid relationship between us. Enterprise Ireland has a strong presence in China with three offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, as well as a specialist team in Dublin supporting Irish companies to develop market opportunities in China, particularly in technology, education, financial services and agrifood. IDA Ireland, Bord Bia and Tourism Ireland are also represented. This Team Ireland approach in cooperation with the Irish Embassy and Consulate is tangible evidence of Ireland’s long-term commitment and the Government’s determination to further develop business and trade between Ireland and China. Economic growth has recommenced in Ireland; our export performance is buoyant, and the Government has a clear Action Plan for Jobs in place. In short, Ireland is open for business; Irish companies are winning business and Ireland has a lot to offer business partners in China. I have no doubt that the Irish companies who are with me on this visit will be successful, both in generating new business and in forming lasting partnerships with Chinese companies.
Richard Bruton T.D. Minister of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Government of Ireland

CEO INTRODUCTION
Trade and economic co-operation between Ireland and China has grown dramatically in recent years. This Enterprise Ireland Trade Mission is focused on building on this strong relationship and substantially increasing Irish exports to China. It reflects the commitment of the Irish Government, Enterprise Ireland and Irish businesses to further accelerate the pace of trade and development between our two countries. Our progress in turning this commitment into a reality is seen in the surge of Irish companies doing business, establishing a local presence and accessing growth potential in the market. This trade mission is a key element in a concerted strategic drive by Enterprise Ireland, in conjunction with our Embassy, Consulate and other state agencies, to identify and fully unlock the undoubted opportunities that exist in this market for Irish companies across a wide range of sectors in International Education, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Aviation, Engineering, Software, Construction Services, Food and Agri-Technology. Irish companies have high hopes and ambition for strong and sustainable business partnerships with Chinese enterprises which will grow our commercial ties and benefit both countries; this is the driving force behind this Trade Mission - an increase in business traffic which will result in more trade, investment and ultimately jobs and prosperity for both countries. Enterprise Ireland is strongly committed to working in partnership with Irish companies to establish and build long term sustainable positions in the market. We are proud of the achievements of the increasing number of Irish companies across all sectors with a presence in the market and look forward to continuing to strongly support our clients in growing their business. I would like to thank the many people and organisations in Ireland and China who are working together to make this Trade Mission a success. I wish all the Enterprise Ireland clients and participants well and hope that the contacts established and renewed this week will result in lasting business relationships for many years to come.
Frank Ryan CEO, Enterprise Ireland
