The agency's remit is to 'exchange information and coordinate work on trade, business development and related matters, in areas where the two administrations specifically agree it would be in their mutual interest.' This contract is for the supply of structured programme offering both "Downstream" and "Upstream" support for businesses in order to accelerate all-island economic co-operation and take advantage of future opportunities to enhance business growth across the island. Downstream support would be in the form of workshops and masterclasses for SMEs providing an overview of fundamentals of supply chain management practice and the operating environment/ drivers of change therein. Providing 1-1 mentoring and developing best practice material and case studies. Upstream support will entail support to strengthen SME Integration to Anchor Company supply chains, it will encompass a series of in person workshops across the island of Ireland. The use of in-person developmental workshops will provide a hands-on learning where participants can directly engage with the subject matter, enhancing understanding and retention, allowing for a more interactive learning experience.
