Belfast is a city full of ambition, optimism, and above all, energy. It is a modern, compact capital city packed with history and world-class culture.

As a talented, competitive and connected city, it is the second fastest growing knowledge economy in the UK, with excellent digital infrastructure and thriving clusters of high growth companies in the likes of financial technology and cyber security. It is one of the youngest cities in Europe with over 40 percent of its population aged 30 years or younger and has been recognised as the world’s most business-friendly small city by the FT.
