Text
First, we have to recognise, as you did, the quality of the work of those agencies. That work is vital in supporting start-ups and our small and microbusinesses to grow. As part of the regional plan that I will announce next week, Invest NI will have targets for start-ups, growth and FDI. I think that that will shift the balance somewhat. I see Enterprise NI playing an increasing role as we drive growth in that area by ensuring that the local regional partnerships are very focused on the businesses in their area and on finding the support for them to grow in the time ahead.
