Lisburn City Council recognises that technology and innovation hold the key to the future growth and prosperity of our local business sector and therefore, of our City.

Technology underpins much of what businesses do today and enhances the ability of firms to be outward looking, innovative and competitive in the worldwide market. It also provides a vehicle for partnership and collaboration in the 21st Century.

Innovation is essential in a rapidly changing economy. Critical to the continued economic development of Lisburn as a City will be the ability to foster a culture of innovation, where research and development opportunities along with technological applications are fully exploited by local firms.

Lisburn City Council is keen to ensure that local companies are equipped with the capability and expertise to effectively participate in the new knowledge driven economy.

This Directory is designed to provide information on a range of key contacts and support services that can offer assistance to Lisburn companies to take advantage of technological advances and implement new systems and technologies to encourage business success.

Funded by Lisburn City Council, Lisburn Enterprise Organisation and the European Union through the Programme for Building Sustainable Prosperity, the Lisburn Innovation & Technology Support Directory web site is a key tool to be accessed by local companies at every level.

I do hope that you utilise this key information resource, and wish you every success in your future business endeavours.
