Northern Ireland has the potential to become a Singapore-style international investment hub, a Silicon Valley tech chief executive has predicted.
Sarah Friar, who leads the neighbourhood-based social networking platform Nextdoor, said the dual market access afforded by post-Brexit trading arrangements makes the region an “incredibly appealing” location for multinational companies to set up joint UK/European bases.
Ms Friar, 50, is originally from the village of Sion Mills in Northern Ireland but moved abroad 25 years ago to pursue a successful entrepreneurial career in finance and business.
