BRIC shows interest in investing here, body finds

Independent enterprise body Connect Ireland said it has detected significant investment interest in Ireland from China, Brazil, Russia, and India (BRIC).

Established in March, the body has been spending its first few months developing a “connector” network whereby individuals sign up to introduce expansion-focused companies, which may be interested in investing/locating in Ireland, to the organisation.

Connect Ireland — established by the entrepreneur Terry Clune — has been appointed by IDA Ireland to deliver on the ‘Succeed in Ireland’ initiative, which forms part of the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs programme.
