Welcome to Invest US:NI, the magazine published by the Belfast Telegraph to complement the key US/Northern Ireland investment conference in Belfast on May 7-9.
Inward investment is essential for any country or region striving to make its mark in a competitive world.
But it is even more so for somewhere like Northern Ireland, which is putting its past behind it and moving towards an exciting new era of prosperity and reconciliation.
This magazine is, therefore, about celebrating all that is good in the new Northern Ireland.
The decision by the City of New York to invest in an Emerald fund, and the Irish government’s new cross-border financial services package, have both given our economy boosts recently.
As we move together into a new dawn of prosperity and reconciliation, let there be more good news.
