Novartis selects campus for centre

Global pharmaceutical giant Novartis has selected Dublin’s Elm Park Business Campus, near St Vincent’s Hospital, as the home for its new regional business services centre.

The company — which ranks as the second largest pharmaceutical firm in the world — initially announced its selection of Dublin, after an extensive study of European options, as the location of the centre in April.

Since then, the operation — which will cover services such as digital marketing, training and medical writing — has been housed, on an interim basis, within Novartis’s Beech Hill office, in nearby Clonskeagh.
