US-Northern Ireland Investment Conference

US-Northern Ireland Investment Conference (US-NI Investment Conference) is an investment conference in Northern Ireland run by Invest Northern Ireland (Invest NI), Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister, Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment and supported by Northern Bank and BT Group.

About

"The event is fully endorsed by UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, the US administration, the Government of the Republic of Ireland and the European Union."http://www.investni.com/apps/usniconference/usniwebsite/index.html US-NI Investment Conference]

The investment conference will provide a unique opportunity for invited delegates to see the dramatic transformation that has taken place in Northern Ireland. The conference is a tightly focused business event and "120 executives from 80 companies" [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7386560.stm BBC News] will attend. Delegates have been invited from industry sectors in which Northern Ireland has particular strengths and which offer the delegates a good match for their businesses. They will hear about the substantial business benefits that investors have already experienced and how new investors can profit.

"The new, stable Northern Ireland is open for business. It offers an ideal location for investors: close to market; cost competitive and culturally compatible with a skilled, young workforce. Northern Ireland's pro-business Executive is ready to help investors exploit the many opportunities in this dynamic, growth market."

Programme

The programme will begin with a welcome reception at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum on May 7, 2008. The main conference will be on the morning of May 8, 2008 followed by afternoon forums for delegates. A gala dinner will be held that evening at Hillsborough Castle. On May 9, 2008 delegates will be invited to take part in a tailored business programme specific to their sector.

Paisley legacy

Ian Paisley has announced that he will step down as First Minister after the US-NI Investment Conference. On March 4, 2008 he said "I came to this decision a few weeks ago when I was thinking very much about the forthcoming investment conference and what was going to come after the conference, I thought that it is a marker, a very big marker and it would be a very appropriate time for me to bow out."
