About Us

WHAT IS CAUSEWAY?

Causeway Ireland Scotland Business Exchange is a not-for-profit membership organisation that provides a high-level forum for businesses to build relationships and expand their networks across both sides of the Irish Sea.

Our members are based in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland and share an interest in boosting corporate relationships across all three regions. Causeway provides a valuable and proven platform for our member organisations to meet, cooperate and collaborate.

As well as enhancing the Scotland/Ireland business relationship, Causeway delivers a valuable forum for entrepreneurs and companies that either currently operate or seek to expand in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland. We also act as a facilitator to engage businesses with representatives from the Irish and Scottish governments.

OUR STORY

Launched in 2016, Causeway was born out of an ambition to support businesses from Scotland and Ireland that wished to explore their respective neighbouring markets.

Scotland and Ireland have a unique, long-standing relationship. At Causeway, we feel that it is only right to nurture this relationship for the benefit of businesses in each market, and so we formed this insightful business networking group.

Since launching we have grown into an organisation that welcomes many members and hosts successful events throughout the country.

Now receiving support from both the Scottish and Irish Governments, the purpose of Causeway is to foster closer economic ties across Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

CAUSEWAY EVENTS

At Causeway, we pride ourselves on running effective, relevant and thought-provoking events across industry sectors in each region. Find out what events we have coming up.

We regularly host events that relate directly to the concerns and interests of our members. In the past, we have hosted interactive debate sessions, young professional networking events and live expert analysis on Brexit’s business impact. Take a look at past events.

We are happy to accommodate event suggestions from our members – if you have an idea for an event you’d like to see us host, simply let us know, and we’ll try our best to make it happen.

We are a welcoming organisation - our members and their guests are always greeted warmly.
