global 'born on the internet' companies are all here*

Ireland continues to attract some of the world’s most innovative companies. Many of these companies, from start-ups to established international organisations, lead the way in their respective industry sectors.

We’re best known for our technology, pharmaceuticals and life sciences and financial services experience, however more recently we’ve attracted many social media and online gaming companies to our shores.

Many companies locate headquarters or holding companies here in addition to activities like research and development or shared services centres. This allows them to make the best use of Ireland as a low-tax ‘hub’ to expand internationally and maximise the return for their business.
