Ireland drops in Silicon Valley league table

The view that IT manufacturing jobs in traditional Western economies including Ireland are under threat from lower cost regions such as China is reinforced by a new international survey by Eurocom Worldwide in association with its Irish partner Simpson FT PR.

The study, which covered almost 200 senior IT executives in 16 countries including Ireland, also found that Ireland had fallen two places in the league table of countries with the potential to be the Silicon Valley of Europe.
