Invest NI - what we do
Invest NI
Invest NI’s role is to grow the Northern Ireland economy by helping new and existing businesses to compete internationally, and by attracting new investment into Northern Ireland.
We principally support businesses in the manufacturing and tradeable services sectors.
As part of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) our role is to effectively and efficiently deliver the Government’s economic development strategies.
Invest NI delivers strong support to businesses in three main areas. These are supporting innovation for global markets; encouraging investment and re-investment within Northern Ireland; and stimulating entrepreneurial activity.
The development of Clk2do is part of Invest NI’s strategy:
- To encourage schools, colleges and universities to promote entrepreneurship as a valid and equal career option
- To promote awareness of the key entrepreneurial skills and attributes needed to be successful in any career
- To ensure greater emphasis on entrepreneurship to be incorporated into accurate and timely career information provided to young people in order to encourage a culture shift towards entrepreneurship
