Irish tech park
Northern Ireland’s first technology park has been set up near Antrim at the cost of £I.SM (about 5NZ4.2M). The site can accommodate 12 factories and is intended to appeal to industries such as those producing computers and robots.
Two computer software firms have already de-* cided to set up in the new “technopark.” They are BSI Beecom (International), which will employ 100 people at its premises and export over 80 per cent of its output, and Multisoft Ireland, which plans to employ 30.
The first six units on the park are being constructed by the Northern Ireland Industrial Development Board. Most will be 740 sq m units, for firms doing “desk” work, such as using computer terminals, to write software, but at least one will be of 1670 sq m, to accommodate, for example, a small, high-value production line.
