Development and Co-operation in Border Counties: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Thomas Hunter McGowan:
Yes. We have engagement with companies and there are approximately 400 or 500 on Go-2-Tender training. We have approximately 60 FUSION programmes, which are the knowledge transfer programmes, in order to develop innovation capability within companies. We have a further 60 or 70 companies on Acumen, which is a sales programme. We could have 90 companies on our Elevate programme. There is a range of other activities such as business angel networks and business planning, as well as the US-Ireland research and development partnership. There is a feast of other things that we do that are not as directly related to companies.
