We in InterTradeIreland are acutely aware of the many unprecedented challenges that now face businesses across the island as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak and so in this month's ezine we want to highlight the key Covid 19 supports available to help your business through this crisis.  Stay safe and healthy!

InterTradeIreland has developed a series of six webinars to help businesses navigate their way through the key supports that have been put in place in both jurisdictions in response to Covid-19.

The webinars, delivered by PKF-FPM on behalf of InterTradeIreland, will take place on 6th,15th and 22nd May for NI firms and on 7th,14th and 21st May for firms in Ireland.  The events will focus on: 

• Government Covid-19 Supports
• Cashflow mgt and funding
• Planning for recovery

Companies aiming to help healthcare responses to the Covid-19 crisis can now collaborate via a new online platform. Spearheaded by InterTradeIreland and TechIreland, the cross-border platform allows businesses to see quickly, in and beyond their region, who they can work with to combat the many supply chain and manufacturing challenges generated by the pandemic and meet pressing public need.

The competition that mirrors the real life investment process is now open for entries. Improve your ability to attract investment – benefit from free expert advice, €280k prize fund and networking opportunities with top investors on the island.

InterTradeIreland is aware of the huge impact and challenges which the Covid-19 pandemic has caused for your business.  We want to be able to help and to tailor our supports if necessary.  To do so it is important that we have up to date information which can inform our supports and wider policy decisions on supports for business.  We would therefore really appreciate it if you could take two minutes to complete the short survey below.
