Ireland at the heart of Europe
Ireland is a committed member of the European Union and provides companies with guaranteed access to the European market. Ireland is the only English speaking country in the Eurozone and provides an ideal hub for organisations seeking a European base. The brightest talent from across Europe is attracted here, mixing with our own to offer a multinational and multilingual melting pot of skills with a positive attitude to match.
Reasons to Invest
Our people and your business, a winning combination
There are many reasons why companies locate themselves in Ireland, but it all starts with positive leadership and policies. Successive governments have developed an open economy and invested heavily to develop Ireland's infrastructure. This has allowed the IDA, a semi-state body, to continue to attract high-performing industries to our shores, even through challenging times.
Local impact
For every 10 jobs created by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Ireland, 8 more jobs are generated in the wider economy. There are over 210,000 people in Ireland working directly in IDA Ireland client companies. But the story, and the success doesn’t stop there. Around these companies more enterprises and more jobs are created. Ireland’s indigenous entrepreneurs see and seize the opportunity to create new businesses. Creating new jobs.
Read the supplement to better understand the impact FDI is having on local economies throughout Ireland.
