The Dublin Belfast Economic Corridor (link opens in new window) is a local authority led cross-border partnership aiming to develop a regional proposition for economic growth. Covering the 100 miles between Dublin and Belfast, with a population of two million, it is Ireland’s most important economic region and a great environment for businesses to grow and thrive.
Global giants operate alongside family firms and both avail of easy access to UK and European markets; a well-educated and talented workforce; a strong entrepreneurial eco-system; and an abundance of modern infrastructure and business supports.
The corridor partnership includes eight councils:
- Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council
- Belfast City Council
- Dublin City Council
- Fingal County Council
- Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council
- Louth County Council
- Meath County Council
- Newry, Mourne and Down District Council.
The partnership also includes representation from Dublin City University and Ulster University.
The Dublin Belfast Economic Corridor is already home to many of the world’s leading companies and Ireland’s most successful businesses. There is plenty of room for more.
