Trade mission to Singapore and Malaysia generates €25m in deals

Forty-two Irish companies are concluding a four-day trade mission to Singapore and Malaysia.

It has generated €25m worth of contracts, in areas such as ICT, financial services and education.

The trade mission was organised by Enterprise Ireland and the IDA and was led by the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton.

It is hoped Ireland will see a 50% increase in trade from the ASEAN region in coming years.
