Introduction

The 2024-27 Business Strategy marks a pivotal moment for Invest Northern Ireland (Invest NI) and business in the region. The restoration of the Northern Ireland Assembly brings political stability and boosts local and international confidence. This positive environment is perfect for business investment, so it's crucial we build on this momentum.

Invest NI will play a key role in seizing these opportunities. The Economy Minister, Conor Murphy, MLA, has outlined an Economic Vision focusing on:

  • Promoting Regional Balance
  • Increasing the proportion of working-age people in Good Jobs
  • Raising Productivity
  • Reducing Carbon Emissions

Following an independent review, we’ve transformed to ensure we build on past achievements, become more agile and operate more efficiently for the benefit of our clients. Our evolution includes a revamped Vision, operating model, renewed priorities, and ambitious targets, marking the start of an exciting new era full of potential.

Driving productivity through increasing your global competitiveness will be at the centre of all we do. We will introduce an improved regional approach, maximise the impact of City & Growth Deals, capitalise on our unique Dual Market Access (DMA) and Free Trade Agreements, and seize opportunities that exist on an all-island and East-West basis.

To make this possible, we will embed a culture of purposeful partnership and collaboration across NI, Ireland, the UK, and beyond. Because when we’re all aligned and in sync, we can deliver the level of support that helps fulfil the ambitions of your business, Invest NI, and our economy.
