Palm Opens European Smartphone R&D Centre In Dublin
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin TD has announced that Palm, a leader in mobile computing and a leading provider of smartphones, has established a Research and Development Centre at Swords, Co. Dublin, with the support of IDA Ireland.
The Centre will develop software applications for Palm(R) Treo(TM) smartphones for the mobile operators in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and will create 35 high level positions, mainly for engineers specialising in wireless-software development, for which recruitment is already underway.
Welcoming the investment, the Minister said “The impact of attracting an R&D investment to Ireland from a company such as Palm, a high-profile brand leader with a reputation for innovation in wireless and communications, underlines this country’s ability to successfully implement such high-end R&D projects.
"Palm represents an important addition to the emerging wireless sector in this country, a key target area for IDA Ireland. It is also an ideal fit with IDA’s strategy of adding higher-value knowledge-intensive activities and strategic mandates to existing operations here."
A smartphone is a single device for wireless voice and data communication. Palm Treo smartphones are known for excellent phone functionality plus email, web browsing, messaging and organisation capabilities.
The new Centre is located at Airside Business Park in Swords, alongside Palm’s existing European Operations and Supply Chain Group, which has been based in Ireland since 1999.
