Ireland INC US 250 Index 2024 Launched

The Ireland INC US 250 Index 2024 was launched earlier this month. This celebrates the strength and value of Irish FDI in the United States.


November saw the release of the sixth edition of the Ireland INC US 250 Index. This year’s Index, comprising 250 of the fastest-growing Irish companies investing and operating in the US, truly reflects the strength and value of Irish FDI in the States which currently stands at about $322 billion.

This year’s index is presented as a Special Report. It features special guest contributions from Peter Burke T.D., Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Employment; Leo Clancy, Enterprise Ireland; Michael Lohan, IDA Ireland; Danny McCoy, Ibec; Michael E. Burke, Arnall Golden Gregory, and more.

Ian Hyland, President of Ireland INC, in the 2024 Ireland INC Special Report, wrote:

“The US was one of the first nations to recognise our fledgling nation. Today, our relationship far exceeds purely diplomatic ties. Ireland is connected to the United States economically, culturally and socially.”

2024 has seen more growth as Irish FDI across the US continues to contribute to many industries including financial software, life sciences, telecommunications, tech solutions, digital media, oil and gas, international education, cleantech, consumer goods, and food FDI. Currently, US affiliates of Irish-owned firms and Irish-owned companies employ more than 100,000 US workers in almost 2,200 locations in the US.
