It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Northern Ireland Investment Summit that will be held in Belfast on 12 - 13 September 2023.
The Summit will explore what makes Northern Ireland one of the world’s most attractive investment destinations. It forms part of the events planned to mark the 25th year anniversary of the signing of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, which has enabled the peace, prosperity and progress that has seen Northern Ireland flourish in the past 25 years.
The Summit will be a significant economic and forward-looking moment, bringing together one of the largest groups of international investors and businesses and highlighting that Northern Ireland is a fantastic place to live, work and do business. The event will profile Northern Ireland’s innovative and technological strengths, which are admired on the international stage. In particular, it will focus on financial and professional services, life and health sciences, the green economy, advanced manufacturing and engineering, technology, the creative industries and capital investment.
The Summit has the full support of the Department for Business and Trade and the Northern Ireland Office.
I look forward to welcoming you in person in Belfast.
