Minister for Enterprise, Trade, and Employment, Simon Coveney TD, expressed the following:
Ruth Cotter, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Human Resources at AMD, contributed to the topic as follows:
Before being acquired by AMD in 2022, Xilinx had established various partnerships with IDA Ireland to advance semiconductor innovation in Ireland. In 2017, Xilinx announced a $40 million investment to expand its research, development, and engineering activities and hire over 100 new qualified employees.
Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland, made the following statement:
The Ireland facility was initially established in 1994 as Xilinx‘s first purpose-built facility outside of the United States. It commenced operations a year later, focusing on production, operational support, engineering, and management services. Since the acquisition of Xilinx, Ireland has developed a strong track record of delivering significant commercial successes, such as the AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ RFSoC semiconductor product family. It is now home to one of Europe’s largest AMD R&D facilities.
