Associate Members can bring along up to two guests free of charge to each Members’ briefing. They can advertise, but for a fee, in the Association’s electronic media.

Corporate: For companies and organisations employing less than two hundred and fifty full time staff (worldwide). SME members bring along up to five guests free of charge to each Members’ briefing. They can advertise, for a small and subsidised fee, in the Association’s electronic media.

Please note that individuals who are in full time employment, will be deemed to be in the membership category defined by the size (as above in terms of number of employees) of their company or organisation.

Irish Exporters Association (IEA)

The Irish Exporters Association (IEA) is the representative organisation for all those involved in international trade. Its prime objectives are:

• To promote Irish exports and trade in services of all kinds
• To encourage trade growth and improvement in all aspects of exports in all markets
• To promote the improvement of trade practices in Ireland and in all export markets
• To examine and deal with any Government proposals which are calculated to affect the export trade of Ireland. And to take all necessary steps to have the views of the Association placed before the relevant Government department at local, national and EU level
• To give the legislative and public bodies facilities for conferring with and ascertaining the views of members of the Association on matters affecting the export trade of Ireland
• To provide and promote education on all aspects of Irish exports.

The IEA provides a wide range of services to its members and keeps them fully informed on all aspects of international trade issues through regular comprehensive e-mail broadcasts.

As part of the government’s Asia Pacific Strategy the IEA set up its Asia Trade Forum to promote trade between Ireland and China, India and Japan. As the two associations are focusing on common ground it was decided that the secretariat services for the Ireland China Association should be handled by the IEA and this move was made earlier this year. This will provide members of both associations with an increased expertise in Asian matters and in particular all matters pertaining to China.

For further details on the IEA please see our website www.irishexporters.ie or contact Radia Bounouba by e-mail at radia@irishexporters.org or phone on 00353-1-661-2182.
