Export Development
For many businesses in Laois, their market is local or regional, for others, particularly in the technology, manufacturing and services sectors, the market potential is global. The Irish domestic market may simply be too small or underdeveloped, and selling internationally is the next step. Local Enterprise Office Laois has the express aim of helping clients to strategise and plan for export sales and international business.
The export supports offered by LEO Laois are intended for those enterprises, who;
- Are reaching market saturation in Ireland
- Need economies of scale to be competitively priced
- Have a truly innovative offering with global appeal
- Have demand from international customers,
- Are seeing more competition from international companies
- Can reach global markets with their digital marketing.
We are now in a world of global competition and global markets, so why not go global?

For businesses seeking to export, there are a number of initiatives available from the LEO including:
