Gov. Cox leads a trade mission to Ireland and Northern Ireland Oct. 20–28 to help Utah companies explore European markets and build trade and research partnerships in life sciences, energy infrastructure, quantum computing, advanced manufacturing, and digital technology.

Irish Minister of State Alan Dillon visited Utah and spoke about the strong relationship between Utah and Ireland. Dillon acknowledged the recent tariffs between the U.S. and the European Union and said they will hurt both sides. This visit comes shortly after the Utah Legislature passed a bill to create the Utah-Ireland Trade Commission.

Hundreds of the top U.S. companies, and a slew from Utah, are finding success via Irish expansions.
