Creating good jobs, promoting regional balance, raising productivity and achieving net zero by 2050
The performance of the Northern Ireland economy remains a challenge. Budgetary pressures mean that spending is constrained, at a time when Northern Ireland’s economy needs to address long-standing issues such as being a laggard in terms of productivity and having high rates of working age economic inactivity. To address these challenges, the Economy Minister Conor Murphy MLA announced his vision for the local economy; to create good jobs, promote regional balance in the economy, raise productivity and achieve a net zero carbon economy by 2050. Underpinning his four strategic aims, the Minister has recalibrated the Department’s skills agenda and proposed a range of interventions to align with these objectives.
In June, Minister Murphy launched action plans designed to enhance growth across seven of the most innovative, productive and export-orientated economic sectors. This year’s programme will include a panel discussion with representatives from the seven growth areas:
- Agri-tech;
- Life and health sciences;
- Advanced manufacturing, materials and engineering;
- Fintech/Financial services;
- Software (including cybersecurity);
- Screen industries; and
- Low carbon technologies (including green hydrogen).
