2025 / 007 The Design, Recruitment, Delivery and Management of a Market Entry Skills and Capability Development Programme – Get Exporting Programme for Enterprise Ireland

Tender description

Enterprise Ireland’s new strategy ‘Delivering for Ireland, Leading Globally (2025-2029)’ outlines our aims and ambitions for the Irish enterprise base and its purpose to ‘Accelerate Sustainable Irish Business’. The ambition over the next five years is to support Irish exporting companies to make an even greater contribution to the Irish economy through international growth and nationwide employment, with the long-term ambition that exporting Irish companies become the primary driver of the Irish economy. The OECD and the SME Taskforce established that there was a structural issue in Ireland’s internationalisation performance, stating that Ireland had a low ‘export propensity’. Key recommendations from the OECD, SME Taskforce and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment “White Paper on Enterprise 2030” were made to address this, including the development of a single offering and programme that would support companies in a holistic way to build the capability and capacity to meet the key requirements at each stage of the their export journey. Enterprise Ireland has, under the ‘Compete’ pillar of our new strategy, committed to supporting 1,700 additional Irish-owned exporters by 2029, in collaboration with the Local Enterprises Offices.
