250 New Jobs Announced By Infosys

Indian firm Infosys has announced it is to create 250 jobs in Ireland.

The jobs are to be created over the next three years to develop new technologies and support innovation in global financial institutions.

The project has been supported by the Department of Jobs through IDA Ireland.

The expansion will see Infosys create up to 95 roles at its first product-centric research and development (R&D) centre outside India, and open a second Irish facility to house up to 155 people who will provide IT services to Infosys clients.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD said: "I am delighted to welcome 250 new jobs at Infosys. This is a vote of confidence in Ireland, our great workforce and our reputation as a hub for technology and innovation.

"The Government wants to keep the recovery going by providing the right environment for companies like Infosys to locate, expand and create jobs."

Dr Vishal Sikka, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Infosys, said: "Much like Ireland, Infosys has based its growth on a foundation of education, lifelong learning and a deep commitment to innovation.

"Infosys is already working with clients in Ireland helping them explore new ways of working and advancing, by embracing technology-led innovation. We want to build on this early success."
