New website for local
businesses

BUSINESS agencies in
Donegal and Derry have launched a new website to
mark the roll-out of their business promotion
programme.. |
 |
The website is part of
the ‘Ireland North West - Making Business Happen’
project - a joint initiative between Donegal
County Council, Derry City Council, North West
Marketing and the Donegal County Enterprise Board.
These agencies want to accelerate economic growth on
both sides of the border by co-operating in four
areas - stimulating local entrepreneurship,
encouraging |
emigrants to return
home, driving exports in existing businesses and
synchronising public policy for business.
“This is the first time agencies on both side of the
border have co-operated this closely on a
programme”, said Donegal County Enterprise Board
enterprise development officer Eileen Doherty.
“We’ve rapidly assembled a team who are focusing on
growing the key elements of the local economy – the
small business sector, start-up businesses, and
businesses with strong growth and export potential.”
The website is the first step in building up a
network of participating businesses in Donegal and
Derry. Visitors can register their contact details
on the site to be kept informed as the roll-out of
the programme continues in the next few weeks. The
initiative has been part financed by the EU's
Interreg programme. If you would like to participate
or find out more, contact Eileen Doherty on 074 91
60735 or email
