Northern Irish Enterprise Awards (2024)

SME News is proud to announce the return of the Northern Irish Enterprise Awards. Now in its second year, this prestigious award celebrates and honours the exceptional businesses and entrepreneurs that define Northern Ireland’s dynamic business landscape.

Northern Ireland’s economic forecast for 2024 is marked by promising growth and stability, setting the stage for a strong year ahead. The economic outlook is hopeful, with wage growth expected to outpace inflation. Forecasts indicate that wages will increase by 2.3 percent this year, driven by continued labour market pressures and robust financial growth. This positive trend is anticipated to accelerate further, bolstering economic stability and enhancing the purchasing power of workers across the region.

The Northern Irish business landscape shines through its key industries: Retail, Construction, and Science. The Retail sector thrives with innovative consumer experiences and digital growth, while Construction drives economic development with ambitious infrastructure projects and sustainable building practices. The Scientific Industry – with significant advancements in research and development across various fields from biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to environmental science – is home to cutting-edge innovations that contribute to global scientific progress.

The Northern Irish Enterprise Awards 2024 provides a premier platform to highlight these outstanding contributions. The award applauds the innovation, resilience, and dedication of businesses that drive financial growth and enrich the region’s profile on the world stage.
