35 Belfast Jobs Announced By US Software Firm
35 jobs are expected to be created by a New York-based software provider that intends to set up an office in Belfast.
ShopKeep POS is a US software provider that has developed an iPad point of sale system for retail shops and restaurants.
Invest Northern Ireland has offered £245,000 of support for the investment, with 10 of the 35 positions now in place.
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said: "The decision by ShopKeep to establish its European office in Belfast is another endorsement of our business-friendly, cost-competitive environment that has attracted so many ICT investors over the years.
"ShopKeep is creating 35 high value jobs that will contribute almost £1.3m annually to the economy. I understand that the company has aggressive growth targets for the next three years and I’m confident that the new Northern Ireland location will play an important role in supporting that growth."
ShopKeep was founded in 2008 and it is now looking to expand both in the US and internationally. The company is recruiting additional mobile software developers to service its current products and accelerate the expansion of its product range.
Jason Richelson, Founder and CEO said: "We are thrilled to open our first overseas office in Northern Ireland, which will serve as a launch pad to expand our operations into Europe. We considered a number of locations for our European site, but after visiting Northern Ireland I was extremely excited and fell in love with Belfast."
