The company which developed a pioneering Covid-19 tracking app has announced a "strategic investment" from a major US firm to help it expand operations across Europe and North America.
Tramore-based NearForm, which has become a major software development and consultancy operation employing 160 people, has secured the investment, believed to be worth several million euro, from Columbia Capital.
NearForm's clients include Walmart, IBM and Condé Nast, who use its open-source software approach, and last year developed the world-leading contract tracing app code, Covid Green, which is used in Ireland but also Scotland, Gibraltar, New York, and other territories.
