Mr O'Keeffe will lead the visit of 45 homegrown firms and banking representatives to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
"We will use this trade mission to help Irish firms to land deals with companies in the Middle East and showcase the high-quality innovative products and services produced by our indigenous enterprises," he said.Mr O'Keeffe said the trip will also help develop political, economic and commercial ties between Ireland and the two countries.
Representatives from Allied Irish Banks, Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank will be on the trip to see the challenges faced by Irish firms there, according to the minister.
