On 14 May 2025 we introduced three new funds as part of our Access to Finance programme:

• NI Small Business Loan Fund III – A £6m loan fund managed by Ulster Community Finance
• Co-Fund III – A £39m equity fund managed by Clarendon Fund Managers Ltd
• Techstart III – A £55m fund (including a £7m Proof of Concept grant) managed by Techstart Ventures

Our £100 million contribution is expected to attract over £150 million in private sector funding, resulting in a potential total investment of more than £250 million to businesses across Northern Ireland over the next 10 years.

Join us at one of our regional Business Breakfasts where you'll hear directly from Fund Managers about these new funds and how they can support your business growth. Invest NI staff will also be on hand to answer your questions and guide you through the financial support options available

This event will be held at our Southern Regional Office, Drumalane Mill, Newry. 

Please arrive between 09:00 and 09:15 for registration and breakfast.  Event will start at 09:30 and last around an hour.

Business Breakfasts are funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
