“From Finance to Pharma, Why Companies Small & Large Host in Ireland,” Scheduled on November 10 from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
DUBLIN, IRELAND – October 13, 2015 – Host in Ireland, a strategic global initiative created to increase awareness of the benefits of hosting digital assets in Ireland, today announces it will hold a co-located special event at DataCentres Ireland 2015, “From Finance to Pharma, Why Companies Small & Large Host in Ireland,” taking place at the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) in Dublin and scheduled on November 10, 2015 from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm. The event will feature a keynote by Helen Dixon, Ireland’s Data Center Protection Commissioner, as well as presentations, panel discussions, and case studies from leading international thought leaders on global hosting. “From Finance to Pharma” is targeted at the country managers, senior executives and advisors in the 1300 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) companies in Ireland, including medical technology, finance, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector firms, upon whom it is incumbent to consider the myriad benefits of hosting digital assets in Ireland. DataCentres Ireland 2015, a two-day exhibition and conference, is scheduled 10-11 November 2015.
Ireland’s economy continues to welcome technology as companies including Facebook, Google and Apple have built their global headquarters and data centers here to take advantage of Ireland’s favorable policies. That said, not just Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and e-Commerce firms, but companies of all sizes and in every industry are hosting their data in Ireland for reasons of affordable power, redundant network and bandwidth capacity, in addition to the fiscal advantages afforded by the country’s business and public policy initiatives — otherwise known as the 5 Ps — Policy, People, Pedigree, Pipes, and Power.
“To say that hosting digital assets in Ireland is an attractive option for financial services, bio-tech and pharmaceutical companies is an understatement,” states Garry Connolly, President and Founder of Host in Ireland, who will deliver the event’s welcome address. “Rather, given our country’s economic stability, skilled workforce, focus on renewable energy, and global connectivity to Europe and the Americas, entering our hosting ecosystem is the optimal choice for any company in these sectors, large or small, seeking a sound fiscal and sustainable hosting environment.”
“From Finance to Pharma” will include a panel with participants from all aspects of the decision-making matrix, from policies (fiscal and legal) to pipes (connectivity / diversity), which will explore how companies that initially resisted outsourcing to public, private and hybrid cloud computing environments, including financial services, med-tech, Pharma and life sciences, are now hosting in Ireland.
“Data hosting is a key element of Irelands infrastructure offering and IDA Ireland is pleased to support this industry lead event, ‘From Finance to Pharma,’ during DataCentres Ireland 2015,” states Shane Nolan, Head of Content & Business Services, IDA Ireland.

About Host in Ireland
Host in Ireland is an industry-led marketing initiative that provides timely and accurate information on Ireland’s digital asset hosting ecosystem at all times, including demonstrating why Ireland is more cost-effective, efficient, reliable, secure, and accessible than most other regions across the EU. There’s a reason companies like Microsoft, Zendesk, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Adobe, and beyond have sought to host their solutions in as well as to / from Ireland. Many of these reasons are immediately realized due to access to affordable power, redundant network and bandwidth capacity, along with a variety of data center providers that offer an array of services sustained by the 5 Ps: Policy, People, Pedigree, Pipes, and Power. On top of that is a very attractive business management structure, implemented by Ireland, which is keenly interested to bring new businesses into the market. Ireland supports this initiative through attractive fiscal structures, access to a skilled workforce and full support of the U.S. Safe Harbor and Patriot Acts – ensuring data asset compliance for companies large and small.
