Speaking in San Francisco, Minister Coughlan said: "With a combined value of €3m these deals reflect the steady growth and success of Irish companies in the U.S. market especially coming on the back the recent trade mission to the East Coast of the US when the Taoiseach announced new sales for Enterprise Ireland client companies of over €100m.

"The diversity of Irish companies forging deals with U.S. partners and being recognised for their outstanding technology is highly impressive.

"From software services to semiconductors and alternative energy, Ireland continues to distinguish itself as a center of innovation excellence.

"I'm delighted to acknowledge the efforts of these companies and their teams. They are tremendous ambassadors of Irish business and I congratulate them on striking these lucrative deals in the U.S. market."
