The NGSC in Dublin is Novartis’s leading digital science centre globally. This is due to the fact that there is such a large amount of digital talent and a significant tech ecosystem in Ireland... We have an innovative team of data scientists and data managers who are harnessing the power of digital to revolutionise the way that we manage disease and ultimately get our medicines to patients faster.

In other jurisdictions that we looked at, they literally wanted you to land and sign the deal.

Cork has become the global hub of choice for international headquarters of technology companies, home to over 100 technology companies. With over 40,000 students across Cork’s two universities, NetApp’s decision to base its international headquarters in Cork provides access to a talent pool that is truly worthy of supporting the robust and evolving technology market. As well as being a part of the vibrant emerging business scene in Cork, NetApp’s hybrid working model means there are opportunities for technical and non-technical candidates across Ireland.

Infineon Ireland really cares about their employees, customers and business. Employees are constantly motivated to grow and everyone has the opportunity to flourish in their work and personal experience, which is a win-win for both. One of the things that I like the most is our team’s supportive and co-operative style in both work and social-related aspect of the job, which I find to be the perfect work-life balance.
