Ireland foreign direct investment into the United States hits $225.5 billion; 110,000 people employed by Irish companies in the United States
Washington, DC — March 15, 2021 — Enterprise Ireland, the Irish government agency for the international development of Irish firms, reports employment by Irish businesses in the United States has reached 110,000 and foreign direct investment from Ireland into the United States economy hit $225.5 billion* — ranking Ireland in the top nine investment sources to the United States. The strong performance of Irish businesses in the United States was accelerated by resilience and preparedness developed in response to the 2016 Brexit referendum. Additionally, Ireland’s considerable strengths in life science and construction, engineering, smart energy, smart city and digital technology enabled Irish firms to support the U.S. government and business roll-out of COVID-19 remediations. According to an OECD report, Ireland is fifth in the world for the export of COVID-19 related products and services and 6th in the global market of countries responding best in terms of innovation to the pandemic.
