Topics:

DfE has commissioned a report looking at the gaps and duplications of innovation support available to businesses in Northern Ireland. This report will form a key evidence base informing policy going forward to achieve the Ministerial goals of increased productivity, good jobs, regional balance and decarbonisation.

Detailed overview

This report focuses on providing a detailed overview of support measures for research and development (R&D) and innovation available to firms in Northern Ireland, and comparisons with selected benchmark countries. Changing policy priorities in Northern Ireland suggests the value of reviewing the adequacy and fit-for-purpose of existing support measures and considering potential lessons from other countries.
