Next week, a delegation of technology firms from Northern Ireland will arrive in Atlanta on trade mission to deepen its connection with the state of Georgia.  

Northern Ireland is the #1 international investment location for US cyber security firms and is the world’s #2 region for fintech inward investment.  Belfast has been named one of the world's top 15 Digital Economies of the Future* In fact, Georgia-based Aflac opened a Global IT and Cyber Security Innovation Centre in Northern Ireland in October 2019.  

“This is an exciting time for Northern Ireland. Our strong local base of software engineering skills has supported the growth of both local and international companies which have developed a dynamic ecosystem of tech innovation.  Demand for products and services from Northern Ireland tech companies is high and our companies successfully export across the globe.” said Andrea Haughian, Executive Vice President, Head of Americas, Invest Northern Ireland. “We are delighted to bring this trade mission to the great state of Georgia to explore the potential synergies that exist between our two global tech hubs.”
