Strategic Initiatives

Home Strategic Initiatives

Platforms designed for action.

NiDCC initiatives bring businesses, investors, professionals, policymakers and institutions together around specific markets, sectors and implementation goals.

The programme

Ten platforms, one chamber.

Each initiative is a standing, project-based commitment, not a campaign with an end date.

Annual Global Business, Trade and Investment Summit

NiDCC's flagship physical gathering for market intelligence, investment opportunities, business matchmaking, sector dialogue, exhibitions and institutional commitments.
