Invest NI Client Performance Indicators (CPIs) provide information on the size and performance of Invest NI Client Companies.
Following a review of the Invest NI client classification system an additional 1,000 businesses have been added to the CPI sample. This has meant a 40% increase to the sample size and therefore these figures should not be compared to data published in previous years. Revised 2024 data, collected on the same basis, will be published for comparison purposes in due course.
The measures presented include the value of sales, external sales, exports and full-time equivalent employment.
Invest NI supports businesses across a wide range of industry sectors, with more than 43,000 jobs in Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing and almost 33,000 jobs in Financial, Professional and Business Services.
