Key Competitive Attractions
Strabane is strategically located in Northern Ireland on the border between Counties Tyrone and Donegal. It lies at the heart of the North West Region within easy reach of dynamic markets in the Republic of Ireland, Britain and Europe.
Despite well documented economic difficulties in the area, regional forecasts predict that the distribution/ retailing employee levels have risen steadily in Strabane as they have across NI. Expansion of the ASDA store shows the potential in the Strabane area and continued job creation is likely in this sector. The arrival of Northbrook Technology NI (owned by Allstate Insurance in the US) can clearly be seen in the finance and business sector and highlights the difference a major firm can make to the economy as a whole.
