The Letterkenny and Derry Chambers of Commerce say 2022 will be a crucial year for the North West City Region.
Chambers on both sides of the border have met to discuss their shared priorities for the North West over the course of the coming year.
The meeting comes as the Chambers submit their joint response to the All Island Strategic Rail Review, where they call for wholesale rail reform to strengthen the North West’s connectivity with the island’s other economic hubs and with Brexit Protocol negotiations ongoing, both Chambers expressed their desire for the protection of the North West’s unfettered access to UK, Ireland, and EU markets.
Over the past year, the Chambers have also collaborated on a Masters in Research Programme examining cross border clusters, with a particular focus on the FinTech sector.
Kristine Reynolds, Letterkenny Chamber President, says they are looking forward to working together to tackle the key issues facing our local economy.
She believed that both Stormont and Dublin must work to address the regional imbalance in transport infrastructure as part of a properly funded investment programme to bolster our region.
