Belfast tech company invests £1.8m in cybersecurity solution for factory floors
A Belfast-based tech company has announced a near £2 million investment in creating cybersecurity software for the manufacturing sector. The move by ANGOKA is aimed at combating the threat of cyber attacks on digitised factory production lines. The company's Cosmic (Cybersecurity for Operational Systems in Manufacturing and Industrial Control) initiative will see it partnering with Queen's University's Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC). The link-up has received around £1 million in grant aid financial support from Invest NI. Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald attended the announcement of the £1.8 million investment on Monday. 'This investment by ANGOKA will help increase productivity, create good jobs and boost innovation across two of our priority sectors – cybersecurity and advanced manufacturing,' she said. 'It is the result of collaboration between government, academia and the private sector. And it has been enabled by the city and growth deal which established the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre. So, today's announcement is a great example of our economic strategy paying dividends.' ANGOKA chairman Steve Berry said: 'With cyber threats growing in both scale and sophistication, demand for solutions that protect online devices has surged across the globe. 'Cosmic is a reaction to the growing need for cybersecurity adoption in the advanced manufacturing sector due to the detrimental impact any breaches could have on the operational resilience of manufacturing facilities. 'Our new solution will allow us to expand our core offering and achieve ambitious growth targets. It will be designed for ease of deployment both on existing and new manufacturing equipment. This seamless deployment will be a key enabler for breaking into new markets across the globe.' Over the next two years, AMIC will support the development of the software through product testing, identification of target customers for commercial deployments and acting as a point of contact with industry groups.

Paisley cafe sees 'dramatic' increase in customers after becoming local hit
Paisley Pie Co. has seen footfall increase after benefitting from Renfrewshire Council's town centre premises fund. A much-loved Paisley business has seen a 'dramatic' upturn in customers after launching more than two years ago. Paisley Pie Co. is operating from the town's Causeyside Street and has been busy since the turn of the year after becoming a hit with the local community. Launched in 2023 by Scott McGinlay, the firm soon gained a loyal following for its artisan pies and premium-baked goods – building a reputation for creating pies with every filling imaginable from mini chicken tikka and Big Mac to the more classic steak and sausage. Now continuing to make strong strides in the food industry, Scott has thanked Business Gateway for its support after the organisation helped him secure a matched-funding grant through Renfrewshire Council's town centre premises fund. It offers successful applicants up to £25,000 of eligible costs when moving into a long-term vacant ground floor commercial premise in Renfrewshire. This money enabled the company to open a new deli and café-style outlet last year. Scott said: 'The warm reception from the people of Paisley and our incredibly loyal customer base has been truly heartening and makes all of our hard work worthwhile. 'Business Gateway's support has been instrumental in making our expansion a reality. 'Their advice on funding, premises and strategic growth has helped us take the leap into a larger space, enabling us to serve more customers and take our brand to the next level.' The expanded premises has not only provided a larger commercial kitchen to increase production but also helped Paisley Pie Co. introduce a sit-in dining option for up to 30 customers – allowing visitors to enjoy gourmet pies alongside a selection of hot drinks. In November, Scott's entrepreneurial success was recognised at the Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards (ROCCOs) where Paisley Pie Co. was named Renfrewshire's favourite business. Scott himself was awarded young business person of the year. Robert Kinniburgh, Business Gateway adviser, said: 'Paisley Pie Co's increased footfall has not only boosted the business' revenue but has also contributed to the revitalisation of Paisley's town centre. 'It's been a pleasure to support Scott and the team on their journey and I'm sure they'll continue to go from strength to strength this year.'
