It’s time for you to go beyond Ireland! TRANSLIT hosted an event that will help businesses adapt and strive after Brexit. This event took place on Thursday the 1st of June 2017, from 7:30 am to 9:30 am at the Bank of Ireland Workbench, 70 Patrick Street, City Centre, Co. Cork.
Questions you should ask yourself.
If you are a business owner in Ireland, there are a few questions you should ask yourself.
- Do you want to know how your local firm can adjust its operation to foreign markets?
- Are you able to recognise the opportunity the vast size of the EU and global economies provide?
- Do you want to know the first steps for going international with your products and services?
- Do you want to learn about the legal aspects of exporting to Europe, OPEC, EAEG and BRIC countries?
Why are we hosting this event?
When the UK voted to leave the European Union, TRANSLIT, was concerned just like everyone else. However, after we got over the initial shock, TRANSLIT realised that this new challenge could create an opportunity for us. Article 50 will affect our company as well as many others in Ireland. It’s safe to say that other businesses might not be as prepared as TRANSLIT is to adapt to Brexit. With that in mind, we decided to help SME’s prepare for Brexit by creating an event that will outline how to shift your company’s focus from local markets to the global marketplace. Additionally, we set up the event on Eventbrite and our Facebook page.
