EkkoSense secures Midlands Engine Investment Funding investment to accelerate global expansion

An advanced software and technology provider, EkkoSense Ltd, has received a seven-figure cash injection from the Midlands Engine Investment Fund, East and South East Midlands Debt Finance fund managed by Maven Capital Partners.

EkkoSense plans to use the funding to support its rapid international expansion across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Africa. To aid this new level of growth, the business is adding a high number of resources to its sales, development and operational departments.

In 2021, we will be strengthening support for our growing global partner network, expanding sales teams in key international markets and continuing to invest heavily in our core software proposition.”
