She said: "This is a very significant announcement from the Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA) which will not only result in hundreds of local jobs in the short-term, the extra office space being provided will also help the Hub to attract further investment in the years ahead.

"The Digital Hub has cemented its reputation for acting as a superb environment for innovation and enterprise to flourish. A number of firms which had their origins in the Hub have gone on to bigger and better things, and this additional office space will allow it to accommodate more growing companies."
