Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council to lead business and investment mission in London
Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is to lead a business and investment mission to London later this month, aimed at attracting inward investment, strengthening commercial partnerships and creating new economic opportunities for the region.
Powering Growth
The Business & Investment Showcase will bring together investors, business leaders and industry stakeholders from across Greater London with companies and representatives from the Lisburn and Castlereagh area.
The event - themed Powering Growth: Partnerships for Investment - forms part of the council’s wider economic development programme focused on supporting business growth, increasing investment and promoting long-term economic prosperity across the council area.
The initiative is part of a wider programme of activity designed to strengthen trade relationships and convert engagement into tangible economic outcomes.
Trade Programme
Alongside the main showcase at the Tower of London, a dedicated London Trade Programme will enable participating local businesses to meet directly with prospective partners, investors and customers, supporting the development of new commercial opportunities and international connections.
Part-funded through the Local Economic Partnership (LEP) in partnership with the Department for the Economy and Invest NI, the London Trade Programme aims to strengthen export capability and support businesses to access new markets.
The London mission is part of an ongoing programme of trade activity across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Europe.
Engagement
Mayor of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, Amanda Grehan, said: “This programme allows us to directly engage with investors and industry leaders, highlighting the opportunities that exist across our council area and the strength of our local economy.
"We are committed to ensuring Lisburn and Castlereagh continues to grow as a competitive, connected and attractive place to invest, work and do business.”
