Alcatel-Lucent has announced the expansion of its Bell Labs facility in Ireland after securing supporting funding from the Irish Government through IDA Ireland (Industrial Development Agency) and aims to enable the creation of more than 70 jobs over the next five years.
Since its establishment in 2005, Bell Labs in Ireland has collaborated closely with both academic and business communities through an Open Innovation program in strategic areas such as telecommunications, supply chain and the environment.
Making the announcement, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan T.D., said "Bell Labs plays a hugely significant part in the Irish research eco-system. Its uniquely open approach to innovation and the sharing of ideas will advance technological development and accelerate growth amongst Irish companies, bolstering our long-term economic expansion."
