The Northern Ireland Invest Forum brings together leaders from across the investment community to explore the region’s growing strengths, emerging opportunities and strategic priorities. The forum will bring together investors from leading private equity and venture capital firms, local institutional investors, policymakers, and portfolio companies for an afternoon of focused discussion and engagement.
This year’s programme will examine Northern Ireland’s position as a growing hub for technology and AI, alongside the region’s broader competitiveness as a long‑term partner for investment. It will feature expert-led panel discussions alongside networking opportunities throughout the afternoon to connect fellow leaders and stakeholders from across the industry. The forum will also spotlight the nominees for this year's Vision Awards, with the awards themselves presented at the Northern Ireland Invest Dinner later that evening.
Please note: Tickets are complimentary, but as space is limited, places must be confirmed by UK Private Capital. Please register your interest using the online form.
