Some Chicago companies eyeing expansion are finding luck in Ireland
Chicago-based software company ActiveCampaign, opened an office in Dublin in 2019, with the number of employees growing from 50 to 300 in three years. ActiveCampaign is one of over 50 Chicago businesses that have expanded or relocated to Ireland, contributing significantly to the Irish economy. The companies receive support from IDA, the investment and development agency of the Irish government, which assists in the establishment of new sites by international corporations. Several U.S. companies based in Ireland focus on software and digital products, with life sciences companies being the biggest players. ActiveCampaign and other tech companies moving to Ireland are attracted by the strong local talent pool, facilitated visa processing, and financial incentives offered by the Irish government.
