Welcoming today’s announcement, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mary Mitchell O’Connor TD, said: “Today’s announcement that MathWorks is setting up their EMEA centre creating jobs in Galway is great news. We are all aware that specialist software is a huge growth area and the generator of quality jobs. This initiative builds on our success in developing a thriving software sector in Ireland over recent years following our ongoing investment in developing appropriate skills. I am particularly delighted that MathWorks have chosen to invest in a regional location and this reflects the work the Government is driving on the Action Plan for Jobs process.
Richard Haxby, managing director, MathWorks Galway said, “MathWorks is very pleased to become part of the Galway community. We selected Ireland because it has built a core competency in shared sales and services centre operations. Additionally, Galway has access to a diverse multi-lingual workforce, and it has a university system that attracts talent from all over Europe.” CEO of IDA Ireland, Martin Shanahan said: “This announcement by MathWorks that it is making a significant investment in Ireland to support future growth across EMEA in a key regional location is excellent news. It adds to IDA’s significant cluster of technology companies in Galway, reinforcing the area’s reputation as an ideal location for such business.
