Jobs Minister Richard Bruton today announced the creation of over 122 new jobs to be established by 5 fast-growing emerging companies in Ireland. The companies will be located in Letterkenny, Dublin, and Limerick as part of projects supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.

Consero, a market leader in creating industry-specific events for senior-level executives, is to establish its European Headquarters in Dublin with the creation of 20 jobs over a 3 year period.

ExtenSys Inc., an Information Technology Company is to establish a Sales and Technical Support office in Limerick, with the creation of 25 jobs. KeyedIn Solutions, which delivers cloud-based technology solutions is to establish a European Software Development, Sales, Marketing and Technical support Centre in Letterkenny with the creation of 20 jobs.

DITA Inc, global leader in optical designs, is expanding its EMEA Headquarters and distribution centre in Dublin, with the creation of 10 new positions. ZenDesk, a leading provider of web-based customer support software, is to establish its Finance and Development Centre in Dublin, with the creation of 30 jobs over the next 2 years.

Making the announcement, Minister Bruton said:

Central to this Government’s plan for jobs and growth is developing and deepening the impact of multinational companies located in Ireland. Targeting high-growth emerging companies is a key part of this, as these companies will establish deep roots here from early in their growth and make a substantial impact on our economy. There is also of course the possibility that one of these companies will turn into a world-leading company of the future.

Welcoming the announcement, Barry O’Leary, CEO of IDA Ireland said:

This week will see a huge number of executives from emerging companies visiting Ireland for the F.ounders conference – we will be working with these executives to encourage them to use Ireland as a base to expand their businesses.
