Often named the “Silicon Valley of Europe”, Ireland hosts the European headquarters of the world’s biggest tech companies. Most of them are located in Dublin, specifically in the Dublin Docklands area, also called “Silicon Docks”. 

Ireland wasn’t particularly known for its IT sector, but things changed when, in the early 2000s, tech giants started opening their European headquarters across the country.

According to Technology Ireland, the tech sector (estimated at $50B) accounts for about 13% of the country’s GDP. This is a significant contributor to the country’s economic growth.

Based on the Central Bank of Ireland report, there were over 160K employed IT professionals at the end of 2022, which represented a 30% increase compared to previous years. The tech ecosystem in Dublin is evolving and employs around 40% of all IT professionals in Ireland, which is around 42,400.

These days, multinational tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, Adobe, IBM, Intel, Oracle, Indeed, Hubspot, and many more have offices in Dublin and are expanding their local presence by employing thousands of professionals.

Dublin created a friendly environment for multinational companies (corporate tax, good infrastructure, large talent pool, government support, funding, research & development, etc.), becoming a gateway to the EU for tech companies and a thriving IT hub.  

It’s no surprise that Dublin is a major exporter of software services, being a top city by the value of exported services. Also, the United States is the biggest investor in Ireland, with the largest number of IT companies.
