2. Why Choose Ireland
There are many reasons why companies locate themselves in
Ireland, not least because it has a history of being at the forefront
of innovation. In 1866 the first successful telegraph cable between
Europe and the US was laid, putting Ireland at the forefront of the
telecommunications industry.
Today Ireland continues this legacy and is the European home
of some of the biggest global technology brands including
Google, Facebook, Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Apple and EMC. This
country always ranks highly in global league tables for education
and opportunities, while being ranked 1st in the world for the
availability of a skilled labour workforce.
ICT Infrastructure
Ireland has one of the most advanced and competitive information
and communications technology (ICT) infrastructures in Europe.
Large investments in recent years have resulted in state-of-
the-art optical networks with world class national, regional and
international connectivity.
It is also a popular location for some of the world’s most
sophisticated data centres, including Vodafone-owned facilities,
making it easy for organisations based here to access cloud
capabilities, run their own enterprise cloud systems and future
proof their communications systems.
Ireland has one of the highest concentrations of ICT activity and
employment in the OECD. From an international comparison
perspective, Ireland ranks ahead of Denmark, Spain and the
UK for telecoms affordability for business mobile broadband.
