Irish State Agencies

Working with state agencies in Belgium

The Embassy of Ireland in Belgium works closely with Irish state agencies to promote trade, tourism and inward investment. The Ambassador chairs the local market team which:

  • Supports Irish companies who want to find and access new markets and help with resolving commercial difficulties where possible
  • Provides general advice on doing business locally and, through our network of contacts, pursue export and investment opportunities that will benefit Ireland
  • Works to secure market access for Irish products in key sectors in high-growth and emerging markets

Working with the right expertise in relevant state agencies is part of our successful strategy.
