DfE Publishes 10x Delivery Plan to Support Growth in the Economy

The Department for the Economy has published the10x Delivery Plan for 2023/24, which aims to be a step-change for growth in Northern Ireland’s economy and includes activities in partnership with further and higher education institutions to deliver increased skill sets and innovation. 

The plan outlines a work schedule to help deliver the 10x Economic Vision and its objectives.  10x represents a new approach to supporting innovative economic growth in a way that is inclusive and sustainable.

Permanent Secretary of the Department of the Economy, Mike Brennan, said: 

“The 10x Economic Vision is an ambitious plan to seize a once in a generation opportunity to reshape the economy in a way that we have previously been unable to achieve.   

“We need a more productive and innovative economy, and this enhanced economic activity must be diffused throughout the region with better outcomes for everyone. The 10x Delivery Plan is a first step in leading change to support growth that is inclusive in nature so that all sections of society benefit from the positive effects of a more productive economy.  

“This is ambitious, and of course the financial context is  very difficult.  This has created, and is likely to continue to create, real challenges for policy delivery. This plan outlines what we can deliver in this financial year with the budget constraints that we must operate within.”
