Firms strike deals in Canada

Cork-based firm Lincor Solutions was among the companies to win new business on the Enterprise Ireland trade mission to Canada led by Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton.

Lincor, a software and services company that specialise in the delivery of hospital point-of-care computing, signed a series of contracts with hospitals in Quebec and Newfoundland, worth up to $4m (€3.1m).

Irish firms secured €8m in new contracts on the three-day trip and five significant Irish-Canadian partnerships were also announced.
