Uses of Ireland for German Companies, January 2011
07.02.2011
Ireland has a number of important attributes which make it stand out as an excellent location for establishing business. Attracting foreign direct investment remains a key focus for Ireland and a number of global businesses (such as SAP, Allianz, Bayer and Deutsche Bank) have located part of their European operations here. At an event hosted last year by the German Irish Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Frankfurt, the Chamber chief executive Ralf Lissek estimated that there are 300 German companies operating in Ireland, employing more than 20,000 workers. This demonstrates how many German corporates view Ireland as an excellent location for business.
