A new programme focusing on investment and economic recovery within Belfast has been launched to support the city region’s real estate sector as it continues to face Covid-19 challenges.
Devised by a partnership of private and public sector stakeholders in the Belfast city region, ‘Renewed Ambition’ will bring together key partners – including funders, government, occupiers, developers and the supply chain.
Consisting of a series of virtual events and investor engagement initiatives, Renewed Ambition will showcase opportunities for real estate investors, developers and occupiers in the Belfast city region.
The series will draw upon experts to highlight sectoral strengths, including the region’s talent, connectivity, cost of living and quality of life.

Attention will also be drawn to opportunities across the Belfast Region City Deal area.
The programme will highlight how Belfast’s attractiveness as an investment location remains strong in the post-coronavirus era, according to Suzanne Wylie, Chief Executive of Belfast City Council.
She said: “We have a very clear plan for Belfast’s recovery post-COVID and Renewed Ambition will be an important part of that journey.
“It will take our unique and compelling investment proposition to a global market in a new and exciting way. We have had to pivot how we position the city in the wake of coronavirus and in doing so have found ways to reach a wider audience which will allow us to attract investors from all corners of the globe, in line with our Inclusive Growth Strategy.
“This is an exceptionally challenging time, but as a city, we’ve proven our resilience time and again, and now, with collaboration stronger than ever before, Renewed Ambition will highlight the very best that the city has to offer as a place to live, work, learn, visit and invest, and act as our real estate showcase to the world.”
