The Tánaiste will be accompanied by IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan and Enterprise Ireland CEO Leo Clancy on the trip.
Key sectors of focus for Enterprise Ireland during this week's mission include cyber security, life sciences and ICT. These are sectors with significant Irish company capability depth, and sectors that have seen steep growth in the US over the past two years. "The companies we are meeting collectively employ over 30,000 people across Ireland. We do not and cannot take this commitment for granted," Mr Varadkar said.
Martin Shanahan, CEO of IDA Ireland, said that as part of the investment mission, IDA and Enterprise Ireland will be meeting with some of the largest and most dynamic companies in the world of technology and business services. "Competition for foreign investment has never been as intense and investment missions increase awareness of Ireland’s attractiveness as a place to invest," he added.
"Irish companies continue to expand and grow their US footprint and investments, adding an additional 65 new presences in the US in 2021," he stated.
