CORK is “at the top of the list of locations” that international investors are open to investing in outside of Dublin, according to new research by commercial real estate firm CBRE.

The report, entitled “A Case for Cork” acknowledges the role played by foreign direct investment (FDI) in Cork’s success, with several multinationals expanding their businesses in 2023, such as US pharma/biotech giant Thermo Fisher which doubled its capacity in the city and F&B giant PepsiCo who announced a €39m investment in its Cork plant, where it employs over 1,000.
