First Minister Visits HighWire Office In Belfast
The First Minister of Northern Ireland, Arlene Foster, visited the recently opened HighWire office in Belfast to welcome the Silicon Valley-based company.
She said: "Companies such as HighWire are at the very heart of Northern Ireland’s growing economy.
"The HighWire Training Academy in partnership with the Department for the Economy has been an important initiative to provide the distinct skills and experience required to staff the new job opportunities at HighWire. It is a powerful demonstration of how the further education and private sector can work together for the benefit of the economy.
"I have no doubt that HighWire’s expansion here will encourage other global and innovative organisations to recognise that Northern Ireland is a great place to invest, live and do business."
HighWire is the leading digital publishing platform for the scholarly community. One of the key technologies HighWire uses is Drupal – a content management framework. Through its expansion to Northern Ireland, HighWire has been able to tap into the outstanding pool of talent - over 16,000 IT professionals in Belfast, and will be aiming to promote Belfast as a Drupal centre of excellence.
