Ireland has really become a place where a lot of Europeans want to work and we've been very lucky in attracting great talent from all over Europe that are now working in Dublin
Cork has become the global hub of choice for international headquarters of technology companies, home to over 100 technology companies. With over 40,000 students across Cork’s two universities, NetApp’s decision to base its international headquarters in Cork provides access to a talent pool that is truly worthy of supporting the robust and evolving technology market. As well as being a part of the vibrant emerging business scene in Cork, NetApp’s hybrid working model means there are opportunities for technical and non-technical candidates across Ireland.
Why Ireland for financial services investment
Over 40 years, global financial institutions have made Ireland their home, from international banks, investment managers and insurers, to aircraft leasing operators and administrators. Jobs in the sector have grown 25% since 2015.
The financial services sector has multiple hubs across Ireland. In addition to Dublin, locations such as Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny, Waterford and Letterkenny give investors an excellent choice of potential sites.
Financial services operations in Ireland handle deposit taking, lending, compliance/AML, fund accounting, trade finance, investor relations, equities, FX sales, capital markets, portfolio management, technology support, software development, cybersecurity and more.
With its track record in attracting technology operations of large multinationals as well as international financial services providers, Ireland has grown into a strategic hub for innovation on payments, fintech and more.
The Irish Government has prioritised the continued success of the financial services sector. Working in partnership with industry, academia, and key stakeholders, the State supports the sector's ongoing growth.
