Presence in Ireland since 1999, since expanded to two locations

What the IDA brings to the table is providing opportunities for organisations like ourselves to connect with and observe the evolution of organisations in other industries, and that’s very powerful. We were introduced directly to some of the largest fintech firms in Dublin, we met their top management and we learnt how they’re organising delivery and managing their innovation.

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.

Technology and language skills an attractive mix for US business

We are grateful to have found a home in Dublin for Shutterstock, and the city’s innovative and tech-forward culture makes it the perfect fit for our engineering and research and development teams. Our Ireland hub connects us to key players around the world and helps us drive our business forward relentlessly.

Continued expansion at four Irish sites over 20+ years

We are a strong ecosystem with multiple parties, service providers like ourselves, management companies, commercial law firms, audit firms: it’s the synergy of all the different stakeholders working together… It’s the right balance between everyone having their own commercial imperatives but collaborating across an ecosystem that collectively facilitates growth and expansion.
