Dublin has firmly established itself as a destination for global business. Home to the European headquarters of hundreds of leading international companies, the city has a pro-business environment underpinned by a highly skilled talent pool, exceptional global connectivity and strategic position within the EU.
With more than 70% of businesses planning to expand or establish operations in Europe, it remains an attractive location for investment. Ireland has a long-standing reputation within Europe as a top destination for FDI. In fact, 66% of key investment decision-makers anticipate that Ireland’s attractiveness for FDI will further improve over the next three years, a clear signal of long-term investor confidence.
As Ireland’s capital, Dublin plays a central role in driving Ireland’s investment. Located along the Dublin–Belfast Economic Corridor, it is a gateway for cross-border trade with the UK, EU, and international markets. Its position among the world’s top 15 financial centres underscores the city’s global competitiveness and its role in shaping the region’s economic future.
Dublin continues to outperform many other European countries, with an average project value of nearly €24 million – higher than London, which ranked second in this regard. This inflow is heavily concentrated in high-value sectors such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, software and IT, and professional services, making Dublin a natural fit for companies operating in these fields.
For businesses looking to establish a European headquarters or fully relocate, Dublin offers the infrastructure, talent, and connectivity to meet even the most ambitious objectives.
