Cork aims to tap into FDI

A major foreign direct investment conference taking place in London later this week is the ideal opportunity to attract a larger slice of the UK market to these shores.

The upcoming fDi Forum which takes place on Thursday will give representatives of the Cork business community a chance to tap into the UK market in order to attract further investment.

Speaking ahead of the event, IDA Ireland South-West regional manager, Ray O’Connor said despite being on our doorstep, the UK market has not proven as successful a hunting ground from which to attract FDI as North America, for example.
