“A wonderful initiative that presents excellent opportunities for new collaborations cross council and cross border. At Drogheda & District Chamber, we look forward to playing our part in supporting the promotion of the corridor region and working with all stakeholders”. Robert Murray - President
Drogheda, Dundalk and Newry Chambers welcome the initiative of the Dublin Belfast Economic Corridor (“DBEC”). We are the region in the centre of that corridor and have long worked together promoting the region as a whole. We have made submissions to the “The National Planning Framework, Project Ireland 2040” and in February 2019 launched the M1 Corridor website. www.m1corridor.ie
The region has 2.3 million people living within one hour’s drive with many having third level plus and other skilled qualifications, excellent broadband, three international airports, 7 universities / third level and two deep water ports within easy reach. We are an investment ready region with access to both Dublin and Belfast, capable of supporting green field Foreign Direct Investment projects, second site locations or companies that require a presence in one or more locations post-Brexit.
The three chambers have a long and successful record of assisting both established and potential businesses in establishing or enhancing their position in the area.
