Northern Ireland Affairs Committee: Economic growth in Northern Ireland: new and emerging sectors
Committee hears from witnesses
The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee will take oral evidence on economic growth opportunities in Northern Ireland, focusing on new and emerging sectors. The inquiry examines which industries offer the best prospects for job creation and regional development, and what conditions would help these sectors flourish.
Northern Ireland's economic growth lags the rest of the UK, and identifying emerging sectors that can create good jobs is central to levelling up the region. The evidence will inform policy on where government investment and support should be directed to diversify the economy beyond its traditional base.
