Make Connections: NI Chamber Connections

 

NI Chamber Connections, partnered with Ulster Bank, creates a network of local businesses who share common interests, goals and challenges.

Following a highly successful pilot phase through 2014/2015, the private-sector led programme assists businesses to develop and grow, whilst providing a vehicle for shared learning and new market development for those companies looking to grow via exporting.

The second phase of the programme will now include a series of regional events and web based support and will continue to link companies for advice locally and through the overseas network of Chambers, which has proved a valuable resource for companies who often don’t know where to access advice and information.
