Firms’ €15m deals with US partners
The visit, which will take in the key east coast cities of New York, Washington and Boston, will spark more deals worth over $100m. But the final value will be kept under wraps to suit local political sensitivities, as Irish software and services companies beat off competition from US rivals to win the prized contracts. This week will see some of the biggest names in the American healthcare, pharmaceutical and financial services markets sign off on deals with Irish small and medium-sized companies that have blazed a trail in the local market with the help of Enterprise Ireland.
Among the big winners are Cork-based software company Qumas, which helps major corporations meet their legal and other compliance requirements by providing them with automated software solutions.
