Newcastle Gateshead Initiative (NGI) is a destination and inward investment agency whose mission is to inspire people to visit, live, learn, work, and invest in Newcastle, Gateshead, and the wider region.

We exist to benefit local people, creating jobs, opportunities, and a great place to live for current and future generations. NGI champions key growth sectors on a global stage, maximising impact with the support of hundreds of public and private sector partners.

We promote the city and region on a national and international level driving visitor economy growth and attracting investment. We undertake a range of place promotion activities, for capital investment and the real estate sector.

We are also the VisitEngland recognised Local Visitor Economy Partnership for Newcastle and Gateshead and the lead accountable body for the first-ever Destination Development Partnership Pilot in England funded by the Department of Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS).
