one international investment location for US Cyber Security firms, and the UK Government
aims to build on this great potential.</p><p> </p><p>Also, through the New Deal for
Northern Ireland we have invested £8 million into expanding Invest NI’s presence overseas,

Trade has opened a Northern Ireland hub in Belfast, offering bespoke support for Northern
Ireland businesses, including looking to attract investment.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
