Entrepreneurs on a mission to Brazil

MORE than 50 Irish entrepreneurs will set off on a five-day trade mission to Brazil this weekend.

The group includes finalists in this year’s Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition as well as past finalists. The trip is being organised with the support of Enterprise Ireland, InterTrade-Ireland and Invest NI.

The entrepreneurs will visit Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo and will take part in one-to-one meetings with local companies, aimed at identifying business opportunities in the world’s tenth largest economy with a market of 184 million people.
