Asia Matters, Ireland’s only Asia Think Tank whose purpose is to build business links and understanding between Asia and Ireland in order to drive economic growth, is holding a business summit next month.

The Global Asia Matters Business Summit, which is being held on 19 November, will conclude with the inaugural Asia Matters Business Awards.

The Awards will recognise Irish companies who have achieved strategic success in Asia. Shortlisted and winning companies will be promoted by Asia Matters to build their company brand recognition with key stakeholders in Asia.

If you are an Irish agri company doing business with Asia, you can apply now for free online for one of more categories at www.asiamatters.eu/asia-matters-business-awards

There is a special award category for Food & Beverage Exporter of the Year, and others to include Most Successful Market Entry into Asia and Expansion into New Asian Market.

Asia Matters was launched five years ago by Dr TP Hardiman, Alan Dukes and Martin Murray.
