HALO

Halo is the Northern Ireland Business Angel Network. It is a joint initiative of Invest Northern Ireland and Intertrade Ireland and delivered by the NI Science Park. Halo facilitates the investment of private capital in companies that are either based in Northern Ireland or have a significant presence there. Although run from within the NI Science Park, Halo is open to all NI companies except those operating in property or straight retail. Halo will look at all stages from start-up to established and both technical and non-technical companies. Since 2009, over £6m of investment from angels has gone into NI companies. The network is run by Alan Watts, Halo Director and Paul Clancy, Halo Manager.
