Invest NI adds Italy to international network
Invest Northern Ireland has expanded its global network with a new presence in Milan, Italy. The office based in the British Consulate in Milan, will be led by Invest NI’s new Regional Trade Manager, Alex Mason (pictured), and has been made possible via New Deal for Northern Ireland funding from the Northern Ireland Office.
Steve Harper, Invest NI’s Executive Director of International Business, said: “Our new presence in Milan will support the growth of our economy by attracting new FDI and assisting Northern Ireland companies to access opportunities in the Italian market and ultimately grow their exports here.
“The Windsor Framework gives Northern Ireland a unique position as the only region with access to both the UK home market and the EU single market. This market access for goods to the EU single market makes it easier for Italian companies to buy goods from Northern Ireland, therefore providing us with significant opportunities to develop and increase our exports to the EU.”
The Milan office is part of a broader international expansion for Invest NI.
