AI in the UK’s Industrial Strategy & Impact for Northern Ireland
The UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy 2025 places Artificial Intelligence at the centre of economic growth. With investment in AI Growth Zones, a new Sovereign AI Unit, and enhanced digital skills training, the strategy aims to cement the UK’s role as a global AI leader.
For Northern Ireland, this is a pivotal moment. Belfast’s thriving innovation ecosystem, alongside leadership from Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University, and initiatives like the AI Collaboration Centre, ensures the region is well placed to seize these opportunities. The conference will highlight how AI can drive economic growth, new skills pathways, and world-class public services across Northern Ireland.
