Team Ireland in Germany

Working with Irish State Agencies

The Consulate General of Ireland in Frankfurt works with a number of Irish State Agencies to promote trade and investment between Ireland and the regions of Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland and to promote Ireland as a place to visit and in which to invest.

Germany is Ireland’s:

4th largest merchandise trading partner
3rd largest export market for Irish food and drink
2nd largest source of Foreign Direct Investment after the USA
3rd most important holiday market to Ireland

The Embassy works closely with the Irish State Agencies to promote continued growth in these areas. The Ambassador chairs the Germany local market team.

We can:

Support Irish companies who want to find and access new markets and help with resolving commercial difficulties where possible
Provide general advice on doing business locally including to German companies seeking to source Irish products and, through our network of contacts, pursue export and investment opportunities that will benefit Ireland
Work to secure market access for Irish products in key sectors
Promote Ireland as a location for tourism and for investment
