NearForm, a technology company has today announced 100 new jobs at an official opening of new headquarters at Waterford County Council's old building in Tramore.

Officially opening nearForm's new headquarters, Terence O'Rourke, Chairman of the Board of Enterprise Ireland said, "A priority for Enterprise Ireland is to support entrepreneurship across the regions and develop strong, export focused, ambitious Irish companies that can win new business and jobs for Ireland. nearForm is an exemplar of the type of company we want to work with, they are innovative, ambitious and determined, and their rapid success to date is highly commendable. I congratulate Cian, Richard and their staff and wish them even greater success over the coming years as they grow to the next level."

NearForm was founded in 2011 in Waterford by CEO Cian O Maidin and CTO Richard Rodger. It is a world leader in revolutionary internet technologies Node.js and microservices. These technologies empower teams of software programmers to build faster, more stable, more versatile business platforms for large enterprises.

Without any external investment to date, nearForm has expanded to a staff of 35 people, with clients including Qualcomm, Intel, Universal, littleBits, DPD and Conde Nast.

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said, "Employment is growing in every region of the country - but some regions are growing faster than others. At the heart of our jobs plan is accelerating this jobs growth in every region of the country.

Our record in the South East since we put in place the South East Plan has been strong, with the fastest rate of jobs growth in the country and 22,700 extra people at work. nearForm is a great example of what we are trying to achieve - here is a fast-growing Irish tech company, recently started in a regional town, developing innovative technology and now adding 100 jobs. This is a huge boost for the South East and for regional towns right across the country."
