Investing in Ireland: Issue 63

Welcome to the latest edition of PwC’s newsletter on foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ireland.

The FDI sector in Ireland continues to flourish, as reflected in the Irish jobs and investments announced since our previous edition in January (see page 2).

That’s clear from IDA Ireland’s recent 2025 mid-year results and 2024 Annual Report, which show a robust performance in attracting global enterprises. This is driving significant economic growth across the country (page 5).

Meanwhile, amid increasing tariff and trade uncertainty, many Canadian businesses are actively seeking to diversify into new markets, to ensure greater stability and fewer barriers to trade (page 6).

As a key player in the semiconductor industry for nearly five decades, Ireland also continues to show strong growth and innovation in this vital sector (page 7).

Finally, we highlight some recent PwC publications and podcasts on topical FDI issues (page 8) and summarise Ireland’s strong ranking in key areas for FDI investors (see page 10).

To discuss any of the topics raised in this issue or other FDI opportunities, get in touch with me, any member of our team or your usual PwC Ireland contact.
