Intel have said they will invest €5bn of capital investment at its Leixlip campus.

This project is expected to engage specialised tradespeople across construction and equipment install, in addition to full-time high-tech jobs at Intel and supports key government policy to grow and strengthen Ireland’s semiconductor ecosystem, positioning Ireland as a leading European manufacturing hub.

It further serves as a critical contribution to the European Union’s Tech-Sovereignty ambitions, facilitating a resilient, domestic supply of leading-edge processors.

Intel has invested more than €30bn in Ireland since establishing operations in 1989.

Global demand for AI and high-performance computing is driving the need for advanced silicon to power AI Factories.

Intel is scaling capacity in Ireland to deliver Intel Xeon 6 and next gen Intel Xeon built on its Intel 3 node. Intel’s Leixlip campus employs 4,900 people and is the forefront of semiconductor innovation, contributing significantly to Ireland's reputation as a global technology hub.
