Over Fifty Jobs Announced At New Dublin R&D Centre
More than fifty new jobs are to be created in Dublin by global ICT solutions provider, Huawei, which has announced a new R&D officer in the centre of Dublin's Digital Docklands (IFSC).
The new centre, which is being supported by the Dept of Jobs through IDA Ireland, will expand and enhance research into business innovation, network services, cloud and customer experience, as well as ICT transformation dedicated to service provider operations.
It will be the lead R&D office in Ireland, working in conjunction with Huawei's other R&D locations in Dublin, Cork and Athlone. The company will have invested €35m in R&D in the Irish economy in 2015, supporting the growing technology ecosystem in Ireland.
Minister Bruton said: "Creating a world-class ecosystem for scientific research is a key part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and over recent years we have put in place a range of measures to improve the environment in this area. Today's announcement that Huawei, a truly global leader in this sector, is locating a major R&D office in Dublin and creating 50 high-end jobs is a great boost. We will continue to implement measures to improve our output of skilled workers in this area, and I look forward to working with all the team at Huawei as they roll out this major investment".
Commenting on the investment, Martin Shanahan, CEO, IDA Ireland said: "Huawei is a truly global and highly recognisable brand, and IDA Ireland is delighted to partner closely with the company across its four R&D sites in Ireland. Huawei is one of the largest suppliers of mobile telecom equipment globally. The company's decision to expand its R&D activity here in Ireland is a great endorsement of the country's highly skilled, well-educated and technologically savvy workforce."
