Why Ireland for foreign direct investment?
Ireland is one of Europe's top destinations for foreign investment and FDI is a key pillar of Ireland's economic success.
The country is home to more than 1,600 overseas company operations that directly employ over 250,000 people – including some of the world's leading companies. It attracts businesses from sectors such as ICT, life sciences, financial services, engineering and business services.
Ireland is an attractive destination for FDI for the following reasons:
- its competitive and transparent corporate tax regime
- a highly educated and skilled talent pool
- it's one of the world's leading research, development and innovation (RDI) locations
- it's the only native English-speaking EU member state
- its pro-enterprise policy and attractive business environment
