Huwawei R&D Centres For Cork And Dublin
Huawei, the global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, has announced that it is opening a new research and development centre spread across two sites in Cork and Dublin.
Huawei will create jobs for over 50 highly-skilled research professionals who will contribute a broad range of skills and expertise to the company’s global operations. Initially the centre will focus on Huawei’s next generation Customer Experience Management Product, SmartCare®, supporting the company in providing leading customer services to telecoms operators both in Ireland and internationally. Future expansion at the sites will extend R&D functions to cover a wider range of IT software projects.
The initiative, which represents a significant investment by Huawei over several years, is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland – the Government Agency responsible for the development of foreign direct investment in Ireland.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, said: "Huawei is one of the companies that I met on my recent trade mission to China and today's announcement that they are opening a new research and development centre creating an additional 50 new jobs in Ireland is very welcome. International Information and Communications Technology (ICT) R&D is a key sector in the Action Plan for Jobs, and in the past 18 months we have implemented a number of changes to support expansion and job creation in this sector. In recent months we have seen some good news in this sector and the Government will continue to work hard on implementing the necessary changes to ensure that we can see further announcements like this in the near future."
