Natural resources are being depleted at a rapid rate.  The development of better electrical, water distribution and treatment systems not only allows for more efficient use of the existing infrastructure, but can future-proof them against changing population trends and usage patterns making them more scalable, flexible and resilient.

EU Member States are currently rolling out a series of multi-billion pound infrastructure investment programmes in water and electrical distribution systems.  The UK alone will need to invest £60 billion between now and 2020 in electrical infrastructure to meet the demand for energy security and the grid connection with renewable energy technologies.  This will result in significant opportunities for Northern Ireland businesses.

What are the business opportunities?

The main areas of opportunity in this area include:

• software design for the integration of control systems
• electrical and mechanical installation and maintenance
• construction and civil works
• research-led opportunity prototype testing
