Passport to Export is the name of our suite of services and programmes. They have been created to help our businesses access world markets.

Our programmes are designed to help you succeed with exporting, and this is crucial to the long-term growth of local businesses and the Northern Ireland economy.

Five areas of export support

Our cluster of programmes and services are organised in five different areas. They will support you throughout the export process: from building your export skills and knowledge, to helping with researching markets through to assisting you once you have decided on a target market.

We also provide support for testing export markets through trade missions and exhibition attendance and we can offer an excellent graduate placement programme resource to help with your export drive.
