Financial services group Fidelity Investments has announced plans to add 100 new technology jobs over the next three years at its facilities in Galway and Dublin.
The €11m investment is being backed by IDA Ireland. The new jobs will be part of Fidelity Technology Group, which is responsible for the company's technology research, services and operations.
The new employees will be working in areas such as software development, database development and systems analysis. Fidelity set up in Ireland in 1996 and currently employs 240 people in Galway and Dublin.
'By expanding here, Fidelity is making a strategic, long-term decision to invest in a region with a well-educated, highly skilled workforce from which we can draw the quality talent needed to provide services across the firm, ' said Fidelity's senior vice president Julia Davenport.
'The addition of 100 highly skilled technology jobs is an excellent endorsement of Ireland's flexible workforce,' said IDA Ireland CEO Barry O'Leary.
