Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy what work InvestNI is undertaking to promote Northern Ireland as a place to invest, due to its access to both the UK market and the EU Single Market for goods.

Answer:

Invest NI is closely engaged with my department on detailed work to establish the implications of the Trade & Co-operation Agreement and the NI Protocol. Invest NI is actively pursuing opportunities through a number of channels including media interviews, advertorials and editorial in overseas markets and global awareness campaigns are in development. For example, the Invest NI CEO has already conducted interviews with the BBC World Service and ‘Market Watch’ by Dow Jones in the US.
