New Science Jobs planned for in Medical Devices and Biopharma
Investment in new science jobs are being planned in the areas of Biopharmaceuticals, Medical Device Manufacture, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and Semiconductor manufacturing.
The IDA announced yesterday that their strategic investment plan Horizon 2020 will involve the creation of over one hundred thousand new jobs in the next five years through a combination of nurturing indigenous employers and targeting FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) from the likes of Pfizer, Intel, Teleflex, KCI, Boston Scientific and HP.
FDI has created over 140, 000 jobs and supports indirectly 240,000 jobs in the economy which has led to expenditure of €19 Billion and payroll of close to €7 Billion.
But has been said before plans are great but action is better- lets hope the IDA plans come to fruition.
