The logistics sector underpins the NI economy every day. 📥 Over 65,000 people employed in logistics roles - almost 8% of the workforce. 🚛 6,000 logistics businesses making, selling, moving the goods we all need.

Read our new NI policy paper to find out how. 👇

To realise fully the potential of Northern Ireland’s economy, we are urging the Northern Ireland Executive to develop and deliver a NI-specific logistics strategy. In our new report “Logistics: underpinning Northern Ireland’s economy”, we highlight the significance of the sector to the economy and identify five key areas where we believe the NI Executive must focus attention to drive sustainable growth: unlocking investment through public-private partnerships; innovative and integrated infrastructure; a fair transition to a green economy, addressing the skills challenge, and growing trade by building on easements under the Windsor Framework and maximising Northern Ireland’s unique selling point and market access to Great Britain and the EU.

In AmCham’s 2024 US-Ireland Business Report: ‘Building Ireland’s Transatlantic Impact’, President of Sinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald, spoke about Ireland’s track record “as a location for successful multinational companies” and the “immense opportunity” that exists to further enhance the US-Ireland trade and investment relationship. Mary Lou said: “For many international partners Ireland is the bridge to the European market and system, something evidenced by the impressive number of US companies that choose to base your European Headquarters here.” She added: “We have a young population and a talented, agile, highly educated workforce. We enjoy a culture of innovation and development, together with high productivity across many sectors.” When looking to the future, she said: "We must ensure Ireland is a hub for research and innovation, to ensure that we can secure and maintain a competitive edge over other markets. We must strengthen the capacity of our higher and further education colleges. We must deal with current infrastructural challenges to ensure that Ireland is a good place to work and live - central to that is dealing with the deepening housing crisis.” You can read the full article by Mary Lou McDonald in AmCham’s 2024 US-Ireland Business Report: ‘Building Ireland’s Transatlantic Impact’ here https://lnkd.in/ehF9g-9B #USIRL24

🚀 Unlocking Growth: Overcoming Barriers to the Single Market for Services in the EU 🇪🇺 The Związek Przedsiębiorców i Pracodawców / Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP) & European Enterprise Alliance present our position on the limitations within the EU Single Market for services.

Now is the time to push for real change! We call for decisive action to remove barriers and unlock the full potential of services across Europe. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dVbvM-rr
