Amharc ar fhreagraIn October last year, I led an investment mission to the West Coast of the US along with the CEO of IDA Ireland, Martin Shanahan. During this visit, I met with over 40 potential and existing IDA Ireland client companies in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and Orange County.
Whilst I cannot release details of these companies, due to commercial and client confidentiality, I can confirm that they were mainly in the technology and life sciences sectors and included both established and more emerging businesses.
