Northern Ireland is a dynamic, vibrant and forward-thinking region committed to promoting economic prosperity, cultural development and international growth and engagement. It is the world’s top destination for Financial Services technology investment and the number one international investment location for US cyber security firms. The success of television shows like Game of Thrones, a growing interest in Northern Ireland as a top travel destination, and its reputation as a global leader in the fields of peace, security and conflict resolution, has helped dramatically raise the profile of the region—particularly in North America. Today, Northern Ireland is widely regarded as a great place to visit, work, study, and invest.
