Online retailer Amazon has become the latest high-profile e-business to establish a presence in Ireland, following the recent announcement that the firm will locate its European operations centre in Dublin.
Amazon’s European Systems & Network Operations Centre will provide infrastructure support for the company’s systems and networks worldwide, and is expected to open in the first half of 2005.
The move was welcomed by Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheal Martin, who stated that it further endorsed Ireland’s reputation as a centre for hi-tech business.
“It confirms this country's status as the leading European location for the largest Internet activities in the world,” he observed.
Mr Martin added: “It is an excellent example of the success being achieved by the Government's policy and IDA Ireland's strategy for the development of Ireland's digital media sector."
The move comes soon after internet search engine Google announced its decision to establish a regional headquarters in Ireland covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
