Enterprise Ireland is delighted to welcome you to today’s event, as we celebrate Irish innovation and the growing commercial relationship between Ireland and Australia and New Zealand.
Ireland is viewed as a highly innovative and entrepreneurial country, and is home to the biggest names in tech, life sciences and financial services. Alongside this has emerged a domestic Irish ecosystem of companies making a global impact, delivering innovative solutions to some of our most pressing challenges. Enterprise Ireland proudly invests, supports and partners with Irish businesses through all stages of growth, supporting them to start, innovate, scale and achieve success in global markets.
While it is in many ways a tumultuous time in global trade following Britain’s withdrawal from the EU, Irish companies are increasingly prioritising trade with Australia and New Zealand. Latest figures show Enterprise Ireland backed businesses saw a 16% increase in export revenue across Australia and New Zealand, with exports reaching a record high of over $600m. Increasingly Irish companies are looking to establish a base in Australia and New Zealand, acting as a springboard into the wider Asia Pacific region. On the back of this, Enterprise Ireland has further cemented our commitment to the Australian marketspace, opening a new office in Melbourne and expanding our team on the ground.
In this booklet we’ve highlighted some of the companies making an impact in this market across some of priority sectors. Our sector specialists will be delighted to speak with you on how Irish innovation can meet the needs of your organisation.
On behalf of Enterprise Ireland I would like to thank you all for joining us today and we look forward to connecting you to the best of Irish innovation.

FieldaysLast June, Enterprise Ireland showcased the Irish Advantage during a very successful trade mission to New Zealand, led by Irish Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation Heather Humphreys TD. New Zealand remains a rapidly growing market for Irish businesses, with the official opening of Irish firm Evro’s new office in Auckland marking the 200th Enterprise Ireland backed company to do business in market.
“Ireland and New Zealand have a long and very positive trade history, particularly in the agribusiness sector, and the Government is determined to build on that. We have similar agricultural markets with a common focus and challenges, so I am delighted to lead this Trade and Investment Mission comprising 11 cutting-edge Irish agribusinesses. The programme will focus on both supporting these companies to expand exports and attracting FDI to Ireland” – Heather Humphreys, Irish Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation
EI Melbourne office opening In theme with Enterprise Ireland’s commitment to increasing our international presence through the Global Ireland 2025 strategy, EI ANZ, alongside minster for the Diaspora & International Development, Ciaran Cannon, and Irish Ambassador to Australia Breandán Ó Caollaí, officially opened our new office in Melbourne.
“We are delighted to be expanding our in-market presence, with Australia positioned as a key growth region for Ireland. Through the opening of our office in Melbourne, we are cementing our commitment to market whilst highlighting the importance of Australia as an export territory” – David Eccles, Director EI ANZ

Trade and Investment Mission Commencing last March, and in the interest of diversifying Irish exports, Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Heather Humphreys TD, led 45 Enterprise Ireland client companies on an Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland trade and investment mission to Australia. Lasting eighty days, the trade mission focused on increasing Irish exports to markets outside of the UK, with a target of 50% by 2020 spurred by the imminent presence of Brexit.
“My aim over the coming days is to build awareness and promote the ‘Irish advantage’ of the participating companies through their innovation and capability in key sectors. The programme will focus on both supporting Irish companies to expand exports and attracting FDI to Ireland” – Heather Humphreys, Irish Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation
Ambition APACLast May, senior executives from across Asia Pacific returned to Ireland to take part in Enterprise Ireland’s Ambition APAC Conference. The event allowed individuals from across the globe to witness some of the best emerging technology coming out of Ireland today. Positioned as an inbound trade mission, this annual event strives to establish business connections and strengthen networks, while ultimately growing value, prosperity and lifting the GDP of the participating countries.
“For me, each Enterprise Ireland visit has given me unexpected insights, new data, new contacts and an appreciation for the pace of change and depth of innovation coming from the Irish tech ecosystem. I highly encourage anyone seeking new business opportunities to take a flight to Dublin to see this first-hand.” – Chris Robb, interim CIO & Management Consultant – Auckland Airport
