Software group to create 100 jobs

IT is expected that internet content security software company Trend Micro’s new European, Middle-Eastern and African (EMEA) new shared services centre in Ireland will create 100 jobs within two years.

Yesterday, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Mary Harney announced that Japanese company Trend Micro will establish an EMEA Shared Services Centre in Cork with the support of the IDA.

“The Irish operation is seen as a strategic site for Trend Micro in Europe, where the company is experiencing significant growth. This announcement is yet another vote of confidence in Ireland's highly skilled and motivated people. This is an endorsement of IDA's policy of promoting high-value activities for the economy.”
