Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether her Department plans to host a further investment summit in Northern Ireland.

The Northern Ireland Investment Summit was approved by our current Prime Minister when he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Currently there are no plans for another Summit, but we are working to ensure a strong legacy from it, including linked activity such as the No. 10 hosted Venture Capital Roundtable, aimed at encouraging venture capital investment into Northern Ireland.

We also offered support for Joe Kennedy III’s incoming mission to Northern Ireland in October 2023 (US Special Economic Envoy to Northern Ireland).
