IDA chairperson said results indicate their strategy is working despite an ‘increasingly turbulent world’.
Qualcomm, Apple and Monzo are among the 190 global businesses that made Irish investments in the first half of this year. Collectively, these deals are expected to create nearly 10,500 jobs, according to data from IDA Ireland.
Agency chairperson Feargal O’Rourke said that this quarter’s “very positive results” and last year’s “record performance” indicate that their five-year strategy ‘Adapt intelligently’ is “fit for purpose” in an “increasingly turbulent world”.
The agency, which facilitates foreign investments in Ireland, reports that investment activity over H1 pointed to a “strong concentration” of next-generation technology projects.
During that time, companies including Trading212 and Block selected Ireland as their European launchpad and a base for a regional headquarters.
