Motorola to create 200 jobs in Cork with new research centre

Telecommunications company Motorola Solutions has announced it is to create 200 jobs in Cork with the establishment of a new research and development centre.

The jobs based at the centre, which will be located in Cork city centre, will focus on deg software for Motorola's land mobile radio (LMR) portfolio, with plans for expansion across other technologies in the future.

Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke said the company's choice of Cork is fantastic news, noting regional investment is a priority for the Government.

"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 said.

IDA Ireland's chief executive, Michael Lohan, added: "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.

"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."
