Ireland's Trade Relationship with Canada: Discussion
Dr. Deirdre Giblin:
I can think of one example of those companies. I do not have permission to name it as their story has only come into my head now. We met them in Toronto. It is an Irish company based in Dogpatch Labs in the International Financial Services Centre, IFSC. It provides an engagement online platform on equality and diversity in organisations, which is obviously a very hot topic. It is a really good example. It has a very strong Irish angel investor and a very strong Canadian angel investor. It also has supports from EI for penetration into the Canadian market. It employs graduates from both countries. It is a really good example of a small female-founded business that I believe is going to take off with the support of both countries.
