State Agencies

Enterprise Ireland

Enterprise Ireland is the Irish government agency responsible for the development and growth of Irish companies and Irish innovation in world markets. The agency supports exports through a full range of trade support services for Irish companies interested in Russia and the 11 CIS countries it oversees as an export destination. It also has a support programme for Russian and CIS buyers wishing to visit Ireland to make closer contact with Irish companies. In Russia, Enterprise Ireland also acts as the Commercial Department of the Embassy, and, together with the Embassy, co-ordinates the Ireland/Russia Joint Economic Commission.

Exports to Russia have grown steadily in recent years, increasing 71% from 2010, making Russia the 10th most important international, and 3rd most important non EU market after the US and China. Nearly half of these exports are generated by Irish owned companies. As the largest seed capital investor in Europe, Enterprise Ireland manages a portfolio of over 1300 Irish based start-up companies, confirming the viability of their business ideas and co-investing with private sources to finance and implement the companies start-up and development plans. Enterprise Ireland also acts as a limited partner in many of the Irish-based seed and venture capital funds.

Enterprise Ireland is responsible for commercialising and internationalising the outputs of publicly-funded academic research, and puts a strong emphasis on the involvement of experienced entrepreneurs as mentors in the commercialisation process. One of Enterprise Ireland's key goals is to identify, engage and support international entrepreneurs and investors in order to capitalise on the rich portfolio of research within the academic sector in Ireland, and lock-in to the existing investment and innovation eco-system available to start-up companies which offers a full cycle of commercial development from registration and patenting through product design, production, and access to the Irish and international markets, particularly the Euro Zone and North America.
