AMD presence in Ireland dates back to 1994 via Xilinx acquisition

For nearly three decades, Ireland has been a flagship European R&D centre developing adaptive computing solutions, drawing from a strong and highly-skilled workforce. By further investing and expanding our presence in Dublin and Cork, we are committed to continuing to both drive innovation in Ireland and to support the European semiconductor ecosystem.

eSentire's Cork site has become a service delivery centre of excellence and now employs 52 people

There’s a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals, it’s well documented that it’s very hard to hire and retain cybersecurity professionals. We’ve been able to hire very high-quality talent, who are doing a great job. There’s a very strong work ethic and culture here, eSentire has several very, very strong partnerships, and I emphasise the word ‘partnership’. A good example is Munster Technological University: they have what I would describe as the leading programme in cybersecurity in Ireland, hands down.

Dublin office designated as company co-headquarters with NYC

With the opening of our Co-Headquarters in Dublin, a globally-recognised hub for technology expertise, we are committed to further ambitious expansion to produce solutions for the biggest security challenges facing AI implementation. We are eager to tap into the incredible talent pool that Ireland and the wider EMEA region has to offer, in order to meet the opportunities ahead.

2,500+ people now work at Salesforce in Ireland

We have tonnes of amazing customers, we continue to innovate so Salesforce is going to be in Ireland for a very long time.

Ireland’s robust regulatory landscape a key factor

We are a steward of the assets of 50 million clients around the world. What’s important to them is that we are a trusted organisation, and the products and services that we offer are trusted. The UCITS framework, as overseen by the Central Bank of Ireland, has the interests of investors at heart. What Ireland offers is a robust and retail-oriented regulatory framework aligned to what we want to offer to our clients.

2,000 employees across three sites in Ireland (Limerick, Cork and Dublin)

Since 1976, Ireland has been a critical innovation centre for ADI, thanks to its strong academic and research organisations, business ecosystem, and progressive government leadership. This next-generation semiconductor manufacturing facility and expanded R&D team will further extend ADI Limerick’s global influence.
