International Business To Converge In NI
Senior business representatives from the USA, France, China, Japan and Canada are expected to attend an Investment Conference in Northern Ireland with the First and deputy First Ministers next week.
The conference, on 10 and 11 October, aims to profile Northern Ireland as a "premier investment location to potential and existing inward investors".
First Minister Peter Robinson said: "This Investment Conference will provide an excellent opportunity for Northern Ireland to build an economic legacy on the back of the highly successful G8 Summit. I look forward to welcoming company representatives from major worldwide economies to Northern Ireland.
"The conference will give us the opportunity to say loud and clear to over 100 potential investors that Northern Ireland is a great place in which to invest and to grow your business."
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness added: "Senior executives from HBO, Bombardier, Seagate, Allstate and Caterpillar will be taking to the stage at the conference to share their experiences of investing here. Their involvement will provide excellent first-hand testimonials of why it is good to do business in the north of Ireland. Our skilled workforce, advanced telecommunications infrastructure and very competitive operating costs are just some of the reasons that attract hundreds of foreign direct investors here."
The conference is being organised by Invest NI, working closely with UKTI, and is sponsored by Danske Bank and British Airways.
