Export Development - LEO Kildare

What this service helps with

Addresses the lack of strategy, market research and in-house expertise that prevents Kildare businesses from starting or scaling export sales.

About this support

Export Development is LEO Kildare's advisory route for clients whose growth depends on selling outside Ireland. Export-specific advisors work 1-1 with first-time exporters and run the Export Accelerator, a 4-6 month blend of workshops and mentoring that produces a validated export plan. It covers market research, product-market fit, value-proposition development, regulatory and standards awareness, route-to-market choices, sales-channel optimisation and performance tracking. LEO Kildare also signposts clients to the Enterprise Europe Network for partner-search, EU funding access and sustainability/digital transition support, and to a First Time Exporters Support Programme via expression of interest. It targets companies reaching Irish market saturation, needing scale, or seeing international demand or competition.
