REPORT: 2025 Northern Ireland Emerging Leaders

May 2025

The National Committee on American Foreign Policy is pleased to release the Northern Ireland Emerging Leaders 2025 report.

Over the past several months, the NCAFP convened a diverse and dynamic group of emerging leaders, scholars, and policy practitioners from across Northern Ireland. Through a series of in-depth discussions, participants examined the most pressing issues facing the region today, ranging from healthcare and education to gender equality and the arts.

The result is a forward-looking report that offers innovative policy proposals and actionable recommendations. It reflects both the complexity of Northern Ireland’s current challenges and the extraordinary promise of its rising leaders. These individuals are not only advancing progress within their own communities but also contributing to the future of transatlantic relations.
