European software development centre to create 85 new jobs

Global IT service provider L&T Infotech is to set up a European software development and maintenance centre in Belfast, which will create 85 new jobs within the first year, according to the company.

Supported by Invest Northern Ireland, the centre will be located in the Northern Ireland Science Park and will act as a right shore centre for L&T Infotech. The centre will be involved in development work for all the company’s services and products.

Alastair Hamilton, chief executive of Invest Northern Ireland, said: “L& T Infotech is the latest globally respected IT company to choose Northern Ireland as the location from which to expand international operations. With a recent survey showing that Belfast was the second most popular city for inward investment in the UK, this announcement further demonstrates the strength of our skills base and IT infrastructure to other potential international investors.”
