Dundalk recently welcomed a high-profile USA/Cross Border Trade Mission to the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence (AMTCE), marking a significant moment for international collaboration in the M1 Corridor region.
The event brought together companies from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and Pennsylvania, USA, to explore new opportunities in technology, life sciences, manufacturing, and agri-food. Organised by partners including Dundalk Chamber, Newry Chamber, Invest NI, and the Ireland Institute of Pittsburgh, the mission highlighted the region’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation and global connectivity.
Coinciding with NFL Game Week in Dublin, the visit added a cultural dimension to the economic exchange, reinforcing the M1 Corridor’s appeal for international visitors and investors.
With the AMTCE at the heart of the action, the event showcased Dundalk’s strengths in advanced manufacturing, education, and cross-border cooperation—a great news story for the region and a testament to its strategic location and global outlook.
