Over the past 70 years IDA Ireland has evolved to become a global force in attracting FDI to Ireland and a key influencer in the development of the Irish economy and its reputation abroad. Foreign direct investment has been a keystone of Irish economic policy since IDA Ireland was founded in 1949.
IDA Ireland’s current strategy is based on a policy of attracting investors from a range of industry sectors who are seeking the best location for their Advanced Manufacturing, Global Business Services and R&D operations.
