Twin tech doctors clinch €3.6m in EU funding

Twin brothers, whose passion for computers began at the age of 10 when they took their computer apart and worked out a way to make it faster, have clinched them millions in EU funding.

Now, 24 years later, the twins, technology doctors, have won €3.6m for projects that will have a significant impact on Europe’s fishing, farming, and health sectors.

Steven and Alan Davy studied computer science at Trinity and at Waterford Institute of Technology, but ended up working together at the Telecommunications Software and Systems Group at WIT where they both completed PhDs.
