Join us at Titanic Belfast for the CBI NI Annual Lunch 2025, which will bring together more than 400 business leaders, politicians and policy makers from across Northern Ireland.

2025 marks 60 years of the CBI; and our prestigious Northern Ireland Annual Lunch will launch our celebration of well over half a decade of a strong and vital voice of business. Providing insights on what’s coming down the road, influencing policy to create the outcomes you need, and bringing firms like yours together in pursuit of common causes.

Hosted by CBI Chief Policy and Campaigns Officer John Foster and Northern Ireland Director Angela McGowan, and in partnership with eir evo, Indaver and Musgrave Group, this event is a highlight of the Northern Ireland business calendar.  It is your opportunity to network with senior business leaders from across Northern Ireland and to build relationships with clients and key stakeholders from a range of sectors and industries.

Our guest speaker is Jim Pickard, Deputy Political Editor at the Financial Times.  With the CBI Annual lunch taking place just two days after the Chancellor’s Spring Statement Jim will delve into the UK’s economic and fiscal forecast and the UK / EU reset.
