Regional City - Knowledge Corridor

Londonderry, or Derry as it is also known, is the Regional City for Ireland North West, a cross-border region with a population of over 300,000 people. At the heart of Ireland North West is a fast developing knowledge corridor stretching from Letterkenny in County Donegal to Coleraine in County Derry. As the second largest urban centre in Northern Ireland (95,167 urban core) and the fourth largest on the island of Ireland, Derry is the hub of this corridor.

Opportunities now exist for businesses from the technology and knowledge based sectors, specifically in the fields of software development, shared business services, financial services, creative industries and med-tech.
