Northern Irish Tech Startup TAPP Plans Global Expansion After Successful Trials
A technology company based in Holywood, County Down, is preparing for a major international expansion. TAPP, a platform that uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has announced plans to grow its business after completing a series of successful trials across Northern Ireland.
The company’s technology is currently used in the hospitality, accommodation, and events sectors. By using NFC—the same technology that allows people to make contactless payments with their phones—TAPP helps businesses interact more easily with their customers. Following positive feedback from local users, the startup is now looking to raise £800,000 in pre-seed investment to fund its next phase of growth.
With this new funding, TAPP aims to bring its services to markets outside of Ireland. The company has identified Great Britain, Dubai, and Southeast Asia as key areas for its future operations. The founders believe that their platform can improve how businesses manage customer experiences on a global scale.
This expansion marks a significant step for the Northern Irish tech sector. As the company prepares to enter these new international markets, it hopes to build on the strong foundation established during its initial trials at home. The business community will be watching closely to see how this local innovation performs on the world stage.
