As part of the iFactory support provided, NORIBIC draws upon the expertise of a wide range of business and technical consultants.

Dr Bernard Toal, Chief Executive of NORIBIC, said: “We are continually seeking experienced mentors to provide support and expertise to our clients.

“We have already an established pool of experts in business, IT, finance, marketing and all aspects of technology, but we are always on the lookout for experienced mentors. Interested consultants should check out NORIBIC's website.”

Over 70 businesses have benefited from participation in Phase One of the iFactory programme. Phase Two of iFactory is now open to small businesses in Northern Ireland and the border counties.

“From the experience of Phase 1 of the Programme, pressure for places will be high.

This Phase will be open for potential participants until the end of February, but places are limited, so if you feel that iFactory can help your business grow, make that call.
