Brewbot Celebrates Export Success
Brewbot, the smart brewing technology created by Cargo IO in Belfast, has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to develop an innovative product that is now winning export business in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, South Africa and Taiwan.
The company, which has created a unique craft brewing system that can be monitored and controlled by smartphone, has received R&D support and marketing assistance from Invest NI for the Brewbot micro-brewery and associated internet-linked sensors. Invest NI support for R&D is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
Ian Murphy, Invest NI's Director of Growth and Scalability, said: "Brewbot is successfully tapping into the fast growing craft brewing market, especially in the US and Europe.
"The Brewbot team has applied their software expertise to transform a hobby into a business that is attracting the attention of craft beer and ale enthusiasts and led to a series of orders for the smart brewing kit they've developed with R&D assistance.
"Our assistance has also enabled this small company to launch the innovative technology at international trade shows and technology events including the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where it proved to be one of the most popular new product introductions. They've brought craft brewing into the mobile age," he added.
Almost £200,000 worth of business has been secured by the company from customers in export markets.
