The Embassy shares our offices with Enterprise Ireland (EI) and Bord Bia. As part of our Team Ireland approach, we work closely with state agencies to promote trade, tourism and inward investment. The Ambassador chairs the local market team. We can:
- Support Irish companies who want to find and access new markets and help with resolving commercial difficulties where possible
- Provide general advice on doing business locally and, through our network of contacts, pursue export and investment opportunities that will benefit Ireland
- Work to secure market access for Irish products in key sectors

Bord Bia and Origin Green
Bord Bia, Ireland’s Food Promotion Board, also has an office in the Embassy. Bord Bia is the state agency responsible for supporting Irish food and drink industry as well as promoting Irish food both in Ireland and abroad.
The Warsaw-based regional office is one of 15 overseas branches of the organisation and covers 11 countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The task of the local Bord Bia team is to monitor and analyse the markets, connect Irish food producers with retailers, wholesalers and food services as well as to provide information.
Bord Bia is the operator of Origin Green - Ireland’s pioneering food and drink sustainability programme, operating on a national scale, uniting government, the private sector, and the full supply chain from farmers to food producers and right through to the food service and retail sectors. The Origin Green programme was launched in June 2012.
