IDA Ireland has welcomed four tech-focused companies creating new jobs and offices across Dublin, Galway and Cork.
IDA Ireland has announced the creation of 100 new jobs as a result of five high-growth companies from Europe and the US bringing their businesses to Irish shores.
Four of these companies are technology-focused and the new jobs they create will be based in Dublin, Galway and Cork.
Sectors range from medtech and business services to fintech and roles will be spread across sales and marketing, software development, engineering and data analytics.
The investments are supported by the Irish government through IDA Ireland, the state agency responsible for attracting foreign direct investment.
“The positions will be spread across a range of sectors and indeed cities, demonstrating Ireland’s position as an excellent strategic choice for global business, both in terms of our geographic location and our wealth of diverse and highly skilled talent,” said Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney, TD.
Mary Buckley, who is the interim CEO of IDA until Michael Lohan takes over later this month, said that the locational spread of these new jobs shows that Ireland’s technology offering, availability of talent and attractive work life balance “resonates with overseas investors.”
“Our pro-business environment remains competitive in attracting high-growth companies to set up in Ireland. These companies choose Ireland as the location to serve and grow their customer base due to Ireland’s established track record,” Buckley said.
Here are the four tech companies investing in Ireland.
