Digital Business Ireland and Guaranteed Irish have announced a new partnership "to share knowledge and insights" between members of their respective organisations.
The two female-led representative bodies said they are keen to emphasise the importance of partnership, in helping their membership to leverage new opportunities, and instigate growth.
Lorraine Higgins, secretary-general, Digital Business Ireland, said: "Digital Business Ireland is delighted to announce our partnership with Guaranteed Irish this International Women’s Day.
"The symbolism of two female business leaders partnering their respective organisations to help to enable and empower businesses in Ireland very much represents our collective ambitions.

We must initiate targeted campaigns encouraging consumers to consider shorter supply chains and buy from businesses in Ireland online. Working in collaboration, Digital Business Ireland and Guaranteed Irish can help to drive this momentum."
