Download E2 brochure

Our Exporting Excellence initiative, branded E2, is a graduate export development programme offering you a low-cost, low-risk opportunity to get into exporting or develop new markets.

The programme provides for up to 100 places annually, with four start dates throughout the year. E2 trains and supports the graduates over a nine-month period while providing businesses with up to 30 days of consultancy support to develop an export marketing strategy and management capability.

Participating graduates can spend at least five months working in their target market or markets.

Find further information on the E2 programme on the E2 exporting excellence website

Preparing for exporting

E2 can help you approach new markets by using the skills of talented graduates. You can use the placement to gain valuable market intelligence such as information on competitors, distribution, pricing and legal requirements. E2 also offers company development opportunities and the chance to assess participating graduates for future employment.

As a participating business, you will also receive support in preparing for exporting and sustaining your activities in these new markets.

Who is eligible?

E2 is open to Invest NI clients that have participated in our Business Health Check and is particularly directed towards:

• first time exporters
• relatively new exporters
• established exporters that are either focusing on a new product or export market, or, that wish to develop their export competencies

Find out how to become an Invest NI client.

Support may be available for businesses that have not undertaken the Business Health Check, although such companies must undertake one within a specific time period.

Take the Business Health Check to review your current performance and create a plan for growth.
