Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government who will receive the £2 million announced in the Autumn Statement for a trade and investment conference in Northern Ireland; and what organisation will be responsible for organising and hosting the conference.


This question was answered on 17th February 2023

In Autumn Statement 2022, the Chancellor announced a fund of up to £2 million for the then Department for International Trade, now the Department for Business and Trade, to: “work with local partners including Invest Northern Ireland to host a trade and investment event in Northern Ireland in 2023.”

The Department is working closely with partners at pace to define the event and will deliver the event in collaboration with Invest Northern Ireland. We will shortly engage a range of businesses and organisations across Northern Ireland.
