We have become an oasis for technology businesses

Dublin is quickly becoming the Internet capital of Europe, as well as a major player for data management and cloud computing. The city has become the location of choice for multinational companies looking for cities to house their international operations and headquarters. Companies such as Google, Facebook, PayPal, LinkedIn, Twitter, eBay, Zynga, Microsoft, and others have chosen Dublin as their international base.

Located at a crossroads between the Americas and Asia, Ireland and Dublin are ideal for companies looking to establish themselves in international markets. With high-speed broadband connections to North America, as well as Asia and Africa via Europe, Dublin is perfectly situated for data management and cloud computing.

In 2012, Fortune named Dublin as one of the seven best cities for start-ups because of its business friendly policies, as well as the city’s highly educated population and hardware infrastructure.

Our climate is also ideal for data storage, with cool temperatures that help support energy efficient and reliable data centre facilities. A low corporate tax rate, a skilled workforce with the knowledge and talent needed for the technology sector, and tax incentives for research and development are also attractive to technology firms looking for a base for their operations.

Dublin is quickly becoming Europe’s Silicon Valley. With start-ups continuing to emerge and multinationals looking for locations for their European and international operations, Dublin will continue to evolve into a seat of the Internet and technology industry.
