10x Economic Vision - life and health science
The Department for the Economy published its 10x Economic Vision in May 2021 and it provides the strategic framework for the department’s activities over the next decade.
The vision document identifies a number of key priority clusters and ‘new and emerging technologies’ which it describes as the foundation of NI’s future growth. This includes NI’s life and health science (LHS) sector.

These include capabilities such as:

- clinical trials
- diagnostics
- connected health
- biomarkers
supported by technology such as:
- AI
- engineering biology
- quantum
- bioinformatics and genomics
- bioimaging.
Opportunities
The department is particularly interested to hear, in relation to NI’s LHS sector, about any issues, opportunities and priorities in regard to:
- skills
- innovation
- regulatory environment
- market access, investment and export.
