Welcome New Member: Northern Ireland

Dear Fellow BCCTC Members,

It is our pleasure to present to you BCCTC's newest member: Invest Northern Ireland!

Invest Northern Ireland is the region's economic development agency, responsible for promoting trade and investment opportunities. Their services help potential and existing investors flourish and connect trading partners with our suppliers.

Northern Ireland is an integral part of the UK, home to a host of international businesses and an ideal location for your foreign direct investment project. With experienced exporters keen to grow and develop new trade partnerships across Canada, your business can discover the benefits of trading with Northern Ireland.

"These last few weeks we have seen Ontario and UK start to emerge from lockdown, and there’s no doubt business will lead the way towards economic recovery. Facing COVID-19 has been both a sprint and a marathon, but the resilience I’ve seen coming out of Northern Ireland has been heartening.

Home-grown companies have responded powerfully to the crisis. The government has supported business in the short-term, while planning for the future. Invest Northern Ireland has made progress towards our targets, and attracted new investment. And US investors continue to invest in the region’s talent.

Since Northern Ireland is home to 1,100+ international companies, including several from Canada, our economic futures are intertwined. Luckily our strong business relationship means we’re running the race alongside of each other. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with as we all return, reset and rebound."
