NORIBIC, the Northern Ireland Business and Innovation Centre was established in 1986 as a not-for-proft EU BIC. We are the only dedicated business innovation support agency in Northern Ireland. We provide assistance to prospective entrepreneurs, micro-businesses and SMEs with the potential for growth, export and wealth creation in the knowledge-based sector.

NORIBIC has achieved the DG Enterprise Quality Award for EU BICs each year since its inception in 1992.

The European Business and Innovation Centre Network (EBN) is a leading pan-European network bringing together 200+ Business & Innovation Centres (BICs), and similar organisations such as incubators, innovation and entrepreneurship centres across the enlarged Europe.

BICs are organisations which promote innovation and entrepreneurship. They help enterprises to innovate; they drive the creation of start-ups supporting innovation, incubation and internationalisation and they promote
economic development through job creation and development.
