Ms Martina Fitzgerald:

On the point that Mr. Caulfield just made, all the European reports and initiatives stipulate they want to see closer collaboration between the bigger companies and indigenous ones because they are both selling to each other. They can also gain the expertise and mentoring from those bigger companies.

With regard to cross-Border co-operation, we as an organisation work very closely with InterTradeIreland, for instance. Our International Women's Day event was co-supported by Enterprise Ireland, InterTradeIreland and Deloitte and was to promote greater numbers of female founders and support for women working in the sector. Ormeau Baths in Belfast is part of the Irish Tech Hub Network, ITHN, with Dogpatch Labs, PorterShed, RDI Hub and Republic of Work in Cork. All those regional hubs are working together and Belfast is included in that.
