Irish woo investors at annual forum

ENTERPRISE IRELAND is hopeful of attracting more international venture capital investment in Irish companies on the back of its latest promotional drive in Britain.

The agency held its annual investor forum in London, where nearly 100 international investors met with 24 Irish companies in the software and life sciences areas. Over the past couple of years, these EI-hosted events have led to around 40 co-investments in Irish firms by overseas venture capitalists.
