Synowledge To Create 35 New High Quality Posts

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, TD has announced that Synowledge, an Indian company specialising in the provision of drug safety and regulatory affairs services for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device sectors, is to establish an international headquarters in Dublin with the creation of 35 new high quality jobs.

The announcement was made as part of the Minister's trade and investment mission to India and the investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, through IDA Ireland.

Activities carried out at the new international headquarters will include business development for non-US markets, near shore servicing and IP management. The Irish operation will carry out sales and marketing for the entire Synowledge product portfolio and will provide near shore delivery of the company's pharmacovigilance, regulatory and IT services to Europe.

Minister Bruton TD said: "The life sciences industry is a key part of this government's strategy for jobs and growth, and through our Action Plan for Jobs we have put in place a range of measures to support jobs growth in the sector. This announcement by Synowledge that it is to establish its international headquarters in Dublin with the creation of 35 new high quality jobs is further endorsement of our ongoing efforts to attract new and innovative companies to invest and grow their business in Ireland. Through continued implementation of our plan, I am determined to ensure that we can see more announcements like this."
