Qubizm Grows Business Outside NI
Qubizm in L'Derry, a specialist education company, is being assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to grow business outside Northern Ireland for an innovative product.
The company launched the product, Izak9, an innovative way to engage children in mathematics, at the recent BETT, learning technology exhibition in London.
The product was developed by Qubizm with research and development assistance from Invest NI, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The assistance enabled the company to work with the University of Ulster and a group of local companies to create and test a fully working classroom prototype.
Qubizm has also benefited from an Invest NI Innovation Voucher, its Propel Programme and also technical support and marketing assistance to develop Izak9.
Des Gartland, Invest NI North West Regional Office Manager said: "Izak9 is an extremely innovative product that will help young people develop the essential maths and science skills that so many employers are seeking.
"Our support has enabled Qubizm to seek expert guidance from educationists at the University of Ulster, and from local companies, on the skills and knowledge they are seeking from young people, particularly in advanced engineering.
"Schools, universities and education boards have already placed orders for the product, providing a strong foundation for growth outside Northern Ireland. Our support is now enabling the company to reach a wider international marketplace through participation in targeted exhibitions such as BETT in London."
