Northern Ireland — August 2025 Northern Ireland’s science and technology sectors are set to receive a transformative boost, thanks to a £30 million investment package aimed at accelerating innovation, job creation, and global competitiveness.
The funding, part of a broader UK initiative to modernize industrial growth, will support cutting-edge projects in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing. Local institutions and tech firms are expected to benefit, with new hubs and research centers planned to foster collaboration between academia and industry.
