This fully funded initiative, delivered by MOAT Business Consultants, brings together large manufacturers and scalable, high-potential SMEs from across Ireland and Northern Ireland to address real supply chain needs. This year’s programme puts a strong emphasis on sales growth, capability building, and creating robust local supply networks.
