IDA Ireland plans to deliver 75,000 jobs and upskill 40,000 workers over the next five years, according to its new strategy.

The organisation says it is prioritising renewing and retaining the 1,800 companies it supports here against the backdrop of “geopolitical uncertainty” and “increased competition for jobs.”

The organisation says digitisation, AI, semiconductors, health and sustainability will drive growth in future years.

It says it plans to secure 1,000 investments to deliver €250 billion to the Irish economy and “further embed” multinationals which already have operations here.

The organisation says it plans to secure 550 investments in the regions.

It also hopes to reduce the carbon footprint of IDA client companies by 35%.

Feargal O’Rourke, Chairman IDA Ireland, said: “Our new strategy is designed to keep the FDI pipeline strong but also to recognise the importance of holding on to what we have.”
