From 4 - 6 October 2017, the Czech Embassy in Dublin held the first Czech water management trade mission to Ireland with the aims of showcasing six Czech water management companies to Irish engineering establishment, introducing them to Irish Water, finding suitable Irish distribution reseller partners and customers, and increasing the overall profile of Czech engineering companies in Ireland.

On 5 October 2017 the Czech Embassy hosted the main event “The Czech Water Management Trade Show” in Dublin (the Aviva stadium), which saw 29 attendees from Irish firms along with the Czech Engineering delegation and Embassy staff. The trade show was launched by Ambassador Hana Mottlova, who addressed the audience on developing relations between the Czech Republic and Ireland in an effort to assist Irish Water with their current development needs. Irish Water, which was the Embassy´s partner on the Irish side, was represented by Chief Technical Advisor Mr Gerry Galvin, who continued the message of creating partnerships in an effort to assist Irish Water´s mission.
