During my visit to the West Coast of the United States, I did not meet with the CEO or any other representative of Visa.
I did meet with key IDA client companies across the technology, internet and pharma sectors and participated in Enterprise Ireland engagements focused on healthcare and technology. In addition, I had a series of appointments in the Los Angeles area related to creative industries and worked as well with Screen Ireland on those.
The core purpose of the visit was to highlight the importance of the two-way trade and investment relationship between Ireland and the United States, and to meet with a number of companies in Silicon Valley that have a long-standing and significant presence in Ireland.
