Technology: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
What recent assessment he has made of the economic importance of the tech sector to Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
Northern Ireland continues to benefit from the decision taken by this Government to build a stronger economy across the whole of the United Kingdom. Of particular importance, is the Tech Sector, which provides highly skilled and rewarding jobs, as well as boosting innovation.
The UK Government has announced economic investments of over £600m through City and Growth Deals and other initiatives that cover all 11 councils in Northern Ireland. This provides an excellent opportunity for each to enrich their Tech Sector capabilities, including digital and R&D innovations; and clearly demonstrates the Governmentâs continued support for the development of skills provision and growth in this innovative sector.
