At the start of the second day of his visit to Berlin, Economy Minister
@conormurphysf has addressed
@BCCGeV and
@GTAI_de/
@GTAI_com during a business roundtable in Berlin.
The event was attended by representatives of more than 20 German companies, trade and business associations, as well as the German regional administrations and economic and political influencers.
The Minister said: “I was delighted to have the opportunity to set out what the north of Ireland can offer German businesses. We are the only region in the world that offers seamless tariff-free trade with both the EU and Britain. And our small size means that we have tight relationships between government, industry, and academia - indeed, our talent is our greatest strength.
"Goods and manufacturing sales from the north to both the EU and Britain have increased in recent years - I want to build on that success, and I see more collaboration with Germany as an opportunity in that regard."
