RETìníZE, a pioneering creative technology software company based in Northern Ireland, has secured a £1.3 million equity funding round, supplemented by a further £300,000 in grant funding.
This combined £1.6 million investment will allow the Belfast firm to accelerate the commercial growth of Animotive, its game-changing collaborative platform that makes 3D animation production fast, fun and affordable for enterprises and educators alike.
This equity raise notably features investment from both of Northern Ireland’s universities: QUBIS, the commercial arm of Queen’s University, Belfast, and Innovation Ulster from Ulster University. The two universities have joined forces to back one of Northern Ireland's most innovative companies. The round also includes follow-on investments from Sure Valley Ventures, Techstart Ventures and Co-Fund NI, with additional backing from angel investors.
One of Europe's fastest-growing creative-tech companies, RETìníZE’s was co-founded in 2019 by Phil and Jack Morrow from Holywood and Belfast, who together have over four decades of senior experience in high-end global film and television production.
Phil also serves as a director of Studio Ulster - the world’s most advanced virtual production facility - and has previously served as a director of Northern Ireland Screen.
