Titan IC Systems has secured an £850,000 investment boost from investors which it says will be used to support the company’s international sales plans.

The Queen’s University Belfast spin-out, which specialises in cybersecurity systems, accessed the investment from techstart NI and Co-FundNI, which is managed by Clarendon Fund Managers.

Techstart NI is a £23.6 million initiative, managed by Pentech Ventures, which backs early-stage technology businesses and university spin-outs, while Co-Fund NI is a £28 million equity fund that co-invests with angel and private investors. Both funds were established by Invest NI.

Titan IC Systems also won financial support from existing investor QUBIS, the Queen’s start-up company, and angel investors who have not been identified.
