Alchemy joins Software NI, strengthening commitment to regional innovation

Alchemy is proud to announce the company’s membership of Software NI, the representative body for the software industry in Northern Ireland. This membership is a significant step, and one that reflects how strongly we believe in shared learning and building a thriving technology ecosystem together.

Software NI brings together organisations that are shaping the future of the software industry, creating space for knowledge exchange, advocacy, and meaningful connection. Becoming part of this community allows us to engage more closely with peers who are equally committed to driving innovation and raising the profile of Northern Ireland as a centre of digital excellence.

One of the projects Alchemy has been pleased to support with Software NI is the Industry Schools Matching Pilot, which brings software companies and schools together to give students meaningful exposure to careers in the tech sector. Through this initiative, Alchemy is working with a partner school to provide real-world insight into the industry, including sessions on emerging areas such as AI and cybersecurity, as well as broader career pathways. The programme is a valuable way to help bridge the gap between education and industry while supporting early engagement with the sector.

Neil Hutcheson, CEO, Software NI, said: "The Alchemy story is already a special one for the North West and for Northern Ireland. Erin and the team embody an ethos that sees them work closely with a range of groups at the local level, whilst operating with elite level clients across the globe. We are so pleased to now be in partnership and for Alchemy to be in a group of phenomenal technology companies working as one to create the optimum conditions across our school, skills, sales and scaling systems."

Erin McFeely, Director NI, Alchemy Technology Services, said: “We are delighted to become a member of Software NI. The organisation has already made a significant impact in driving the sector forward, evident by the world-class talent and innovation found within the industry here in Northern Ireland, and we’re committed to playing a major role in achieving Software NI’s vision of 50,000 software jobs in the region by 2035."

"We are also looking forward to contributing from a North West perspective, with the area growing rapidly as a technology hub in Northern Ireland. We will maintain our commitment to creating highly skilled jobs here, and we are excited to work with Software NI to grow and support the sector in the coming years.”
