Enterprise Ireland firms 'overachieve' by creating nearly 16,000 jobs in 2024

Medtech firm Aerogen also announces 725 new roles in the west of Ireland

Chief executive of Enterprise Ireland, Leo Clancy, said: 'Over the three-year period Enterprise Ireland client companies created 50,931 new jobs and at the end of 2023 over €34 billion in exports was recorded.'

Enterprise Ireland client companies have “overachieved” on the Government agency’s three-year growth target, creating nearly 16,000 new jobs last year and setting a new employment record.

This comes as medical device manufacturer Aerogen announced that it is to create 725 new jobs in Galway and Shannon over the next 10 years as part of a €300m expansion supported by Enterprise Ireland.
