With future aspirations to expand across additional technologies, the employment-based facility, which will be located in Cork city centre, will primarily focus on building software for Motorola's land mobile radio (LMR) portfolio.
The company's decision to locate in Cork is excellent news, according to Minister of Enterprise Peter Burke, who also noted that the government prioritises regional investment.
“The new centre will be a welcome addition to the already thriving city centre and will provide exciting new work opportunities for technology talent,” Mr. Burke stated.
“This investment decision by Motorola Solutions to select Ireland and Cork as the location for their new global R&D Centre is an important vote of confidence in the technology sector,” stated Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland.
“The company’s plans to create 200 new jobs demonstrates Ireland’s ability to win strategic investments from global leaders looking for a location that can provide a talented and skilled workforce and a track record in delivering innovative, and pro-business environment for multinational companies.”
