£700 million City Deal investment will help Belfast Region bounce back from Covid-19

Belfast Region City Deal partners have said that confirmation of the NI Executive’s match funding of new investment for infrastructure, regeneration, and tourism projects will help the region’s economy recover from the effects of Covid-19.

Vice-Chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast, Professor Ian Greer, said, “The Northern Ireland Executive’s match funding is most welcome news. As we look beyond the current pandemic, we know that economic and societal recovery will require extensive investment, collaboration and innovation. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we talked about the BCRD representing a once-in- generation opportunity for inclusive growth and being a major boost to the local economy. This funding is now all the more crucial as we emerge from these challenging times and look towards recovery and regeneration. Queen’s University is strongly placed to play a key role in Northern Ireland’s recovery and we look forward to working with partners to deliver innovative projects that will have positive and lasting impact on the economy.”

It is anticipated that the Belfast Region City Deal will deliver more than 20 projects that will help grow the Belfast region’s business strengths in life and health sciences; ICT, digital and creative industries, and advanced manufacturing. It will also support digital development and tourism-led regeneration across the entire region, underpinned by infrastructure developments and investment in skills to connect people to jobs and services.

These projects will help to create new types of jobs for the future, underpinned by re-skilling programmes, by focusing on the region’s competitive strengths. They will also have a positive impact on the most deprived communities, delivering a balanced spread of benefits across the region.
