Softeq Development Corporation is a full-stack development company focusing on low level programming, hardware and software apps for web, desktop, and mobile.

History

The company was founded by Christopher A. Howard in Houston, Texas, the United States, in 1997. The name “Softeq” originally implied “technical software” that used to be the core focus area of the company in its early days. In 2008, the company opened its branch in Minsk, Belarus, which became its development center, and now has 300 employees. Softeq Development is a resident of High Tech Park, a scientific and business cluster located in Minsk, Belarus.
In 2018 Softeq Development completed the acquisition of NearShore Solutions GmbH. It is located in Munich, Germany and functions as a customer delivery center.

Key industries served

The company’s embedded software development department was a long-term partner of the world’s second-largest flash memory producer SK Hynix. In 2014, the chipmaker’s acquisition of the dedicated development center within Softeq led to the foundation of Softeq Flash Solutions LLC. The Softeq’s spin-off became part of SK Hynix's R&D center for flash memory products.
