The IoD committee regularly meets with politicians and key civil servants to understand current economic development activities and share ideas on best practice or initiatives designed to encourage economic growth.
The IoD ensures a coordinated approach with other lobbying areas such as connectivity, population management and skills, maintaining contact with the Committee for Economic Development. We work with the G4 where our members' interests are aligned and where necessary raise any ideas or trends which we believe may have a potentially damaging effect on the local business community.
