Hello Doctor,

Here is my question: What is the potential/impact of B2B E-commerce in Ireland?

Thank you for your time.

Ray

Dear Ray:

Ireland has been doing very well out of B2B e-commerce. Thanks to business-friendly government policy, a native English speaking work force and comparatively low labour costs, Ireland - and particularly Dublin - has been very interesting to US companies and others as a European base.

Many of these businesses are serving other businesses: writing software, providing back office services, localisation services, etc.

Provided the Irish government maintains its business-friendly policies, the potential remains for strong continued growth in Ireland for the foreseeable future.

Good luck,

Dr. Ecommerce
