Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to what extent they raised Northern Ireland's unique market access at the International Investment Summit, held on 14 October 2024.

Answer:

The International Investment Summit was an opportunity for us to make clear that our economy is open for investment. It allowed us to be visible to a wide range of global investment stakeholders, and to engage directly with companies who might consider investing here, as well as those who already have a presence.

We welcomed the opportunity to reinforce the message of why this is a great place to invest and to highlight our labour market advantages, business operating advantages, competitiveness advantages and location advantages.
