Some of Atlanta's biggest companies have discovered something about Ireland: it's an excellent place to build technology teams.
Global Payments, Elavon, and Coca-Cola have all built substantial operations there, taking advantage of English-speaking talent, EU market access, and a pro-business environment. Now more Atlanta firms are following their lead, particularly attracted by Ireland's AI-focused infrastructure.
The country has positioned itself as a hub for artificial intelligence development, with strong university programs and government incentives for tech companies. For Atlanta firms looking to expand internationally without the language barriers of continental Europe, Ireland offers an appealing combination.
The trend highlights how Atlanta's corporate connections increasingly stretch across the Atlantic, with talent pipelines flowing in both directions.
