Irish companies focused on European expansion are now a better investment bet than US-oriented ventures, according to Laura Dillon of Waterland Private Equity, which has emerged as a significant backer of SMEs here since 2019.
US president Donald Trump’s volatile trade policies have slowed but not frozen deal-making, Ms Dillon said as her firm announced a new €150m investment pot targeted at Irish investments over the next year to 18 months.
