ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s Kevin Mathiasz, and members of Enterprise Ireland, met with Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar on 21st of August, at an Irish-Canadian business breakfast in Toronto. The Irish Taoiseach was in Toronto at a business breakfast organised by the Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise Ireland in Toronto. At a speech during breakfast, Varadkar announced that Ireland will seek to double its footprint overseas, including doubling Ireland’s business agency representation by 2025. Canada’s investment in Ireland is estimated to be about $14 billion and Canadian-Irish trade is considered increasingly more important to both countries. Mathiasz, ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s Business Development Manager for Canada, highlighted ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s recent success in the Canadian market. He also outlined both ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s business development and expansion plans to Varadkar, who used his speech at the breakfast to encourage deeper trade links between Canada and Ireland. ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ now has offices in Toronto, in addition to its offices in New York, London and its headquarters in Dublin. ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ has exponentially grown its client base in Canada and in conjunction with Varadkar’s plans regarding increasing an Irish business footprint in Canada, ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ will be expanding its operations and its Toronto office in the coming months. Mathiasz was accompanied to the breakfast by John McKinnon, partner at Onyx Mechanical, an ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ client for the past two years. Onyx mechanical is a contracting company operating in the GTA that provides mechanical construction services for the ICI sector of Southern Ontario. Onyx use ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s platform to train their contractors while maintaining very high safety standards across its operations.
