Welcoming today’s announcement Martin Shanahan, CEO, IDA Ireland, said: “Ireland has been very successful in attracting Software as a Service (SaaS) companies in recent years. Ireland provides SaaS companies with well-educated multilingual, customer support, sales, finance and technical teams.

“Ireland has a young, educated & adaptable workforce strengthened by the free movement of people within the European Union’s 200 million-strong labour market.

“Dublin is building a reputation as Europe’s centre for SaaS companies looking to scale with Pressreader, Looker, ThinkSmart, and ArtofUs establishing their EMEA HQ in Dublin.
