Causeway: Ireland Scotland Business Exchange is not your typical business membership organisation.
We are a vibrant and dynamic non-profit organisation that brings together professionals from Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. Our extensive business network consists of prominent senior executives, dynamic young professionals, and innovative entrepreneurs from diverse sectors.
Our purpose is to foster connections, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among our members
Whether you are already operating or aspire to expand or export to Ireland or Scotland, we provide invaluable opportunities for growth and success. As proud recipients of support from the Irish and Scottish governments, we work closely with key agencies and organisations to strengthen economic and cultural ties across the regions.
Our story began in 2016 when Causeway (formerly known as the Irish Business Network Scotland) was launched at the iconic Edinburgh Castle. Our founders, professionals from Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, shared a vision of enhancing communication and building relationships across both sides of the Irish Sea to create mutual value. We recognise the unique and longstanding relationship between Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, and we are committed to nurturing it for the benefit of businesses in each market.
Join us on this exciting journey as we collaborate with strategic partners, such as Enterprise Ireland, Invest Northern Ireland, Scottish Development International, British and Irish Trading Alliance, and various Chambers of Commerce across the region.
"At a recent Causeway awards dinner, I was introduced to the Chief Executive of the City of Edinburgh Council and arranged a follow-up meeting which has the potential to expand my business into a new sector. There is no other network that has the power to achieve this."
The Causeway Management Board generously devotes their time to achieving a shared vision: supporting business growth on both sides of the Irish Sea
With expertise spanning not-for-profit, marketing, law, construction, transport and renewables, our senior board members bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.
Join the thriving community shaping the future of business across the Irish Sea.
