IDA Ireland is the Irish Government’s economic development agency responsible for attracting overseas investment to Ireland. Over the past decade, the Irish economy has continued to be one of the leading economic growth performers in the industrialized world. In the five years to 2002, Ireland’s average growth was more than three times that of EU and OECD countries, and one of the highest anywhere in the world.

IDA is active in the development of digital media in Ireland. The acknowledged expertise in the technology sector, coupled with its strength in software and wireless provides a superb platform on which to build a world-class digital media industry.

Ireland is already a successful base for many international companies to serve EMEA markets, including the majority of the world’s leading ICT brand names. The availability of state-of-the-art hosting capabilities, competitive broadband connections to global networks, established technical support and CRM operations, with the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe, makes Ireland an excellent place from which to distribute digital content.

The quality of infrastructure has been pivotal in attracting companies such as Google and Overture to establish operations in Ireland. Their arrivals are significant steps in the implementation of the Government’s strategy to make Ireland a leading player in the digital media industry.

IDA continues to actively promote the capabilities in Ireland to ensure a continuous flow of significant investment to create a dynamic and prosperous digital media industry.
