Having developed from being a predominantly agricultural economy in the 1950s Ireland is now a thoroughly modern nation with well developed manufacturing and international services sectors and has the highest economic growth rate in the EU - hence the title 'The Celtic Tiger'.
Ireland offers investors a stable, profitable, English-speaking base to service world markets. This is why almost 1,000 overseas companies have made Ireland their location of choice in sectors as diverse as engineering, information communications technologies, pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, financial and international services. Today, Ireland is home to companies such as Intel, Yahoo, Adobe, Microsoft, HP, Apple, Google, Amazon and Palm, to name just a few. In addition nine out of the ten biggest global pharmaceutical companies have located manufacturing plants in Ireland.
Ireland's competitiveness is based not on Irish tax benefits and costs alone, but on knowledge, innovation, flexibility, and connectedness - how everything works together. Ireland has demonstrated the ability to adopt and adapt to change in a unique way that connects innovation, knowledge, people and enterprise to meet the fast-evolving demands of world markets.
Ireland continues to win international investments from global corporations because it is seen as a business location where the workforce, as well as being highly qualified, has a unique capacity to improve, to innovate and to initiate new ideas, new processes and new ways of working that can make business more dynamic, more efficient and ultimately more profitable.
Ireland has one of the youngest populations in Europe with over 36% under the age of 25 years. Ireland's unique population and age structure that has fuelled much of its recent prosperity will continue for the next 15 years with a key focus on education and research in the country.
