Ireland Gateway to Europe

Sigmar Recruitment founded Ireland Gateway To Europe, a not-for-profit collective of Irish service providers who promote bilateral transatlantic trade: to encourage US firms to invest in Ireland, while also helping Irish companies that are looking to get a foothold in the American market. Each year we host a trade mission programme to two to three US cities in March/April, centred around our Global Leadership Symposium series.

At the end of March 2023, the Ireland Gateway To Europe delegation headed to the US for a week long series of events, to promote transatlantic trade as well as host a special event to commemorate 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement.
