e-centre Alumni

The e-centre has focused on those companies in the software development area who are looking to develop a global niche for their product area.
The companies are typically resident between 24 – 48 months.

Our first technology graduate company was Cleanflow Systems. In July 2005, a further three companies graduated; Esphion, S4, and BiPredict. All the companies are focused on developing an international market.
