300 new jobs will be created through a new centre for Data Analytics.
Insight will place four universities, including NUI Galway, DCU, UCC and UCD at one location in Dublin.
They will work with small start-up companies as well as large multi nationals to match up research with real life industry needs. The positions will be rolled out at 12 "spin outs" – but the Government says thousands of other jobs will be created indirectly.
Meanwhile, job creation in Clare is up for discussion today as the IDA meet with Shannon Business representatives.
The CEO of the Industrial Development Agency, Barry O’Leary will address the Shannon Chamber President’s Lunch in Dromoland this afternoon to outline plans for attracting foreign investment to County Clare and the Mid-West.
Shannon Chamber representatives have said they’re keen to discuss plans to capitalise on the growth of the independent Shannon Airport to attract new indutries here.
They’re also hoping for new employment opportunities in light of the closure of local businesses including Kraus and Naimer which announced redundancy for 63 workers last week.
