With the appointment of Vibe as the VP of People and Culture, Monta is confident that she will lead the effort in creating an even more inclusive work environment that attracts a diverse group of individuals to the company.
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney TD and IDA Ireland today welcomed the news that IBM is launching a further significant phase to a multi-year transformational training programme across its research and digital sales teams in Ireland, which is intended to be worth more than €10m over approximately the next five years. The programme is supported by the Government of Ireland through IDA Ireland.
The skills transformation is part of IBM’s new ‘reimagined workforce’ and includes an innovative bespoke training programme under which IBM intends to hire approximately 35 pre-PhD research candidates to work at IBM’s research’s lab in Dublin, and train across cutting-edge technologies such as AI, quantum, information security and Accelerated Discovery. The pre-PhD programme is undertaken in conjunction with Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin. Significant transformative skills training will also be provided to IBM’s digital sales team covering sales leadership, client acquisition and a new early career development programme.
Welcoming the new investment by IBM, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney TD said: “I am pleased to see that IBM is making this new investment of over €10m across its research and digital sales teams in Ireland. The ‘reimagined workforce’ initiative will provide about 35 pre-PhD students with an incredible opportunity to receive the most advanced technological training available from the excellent teachers and resources in Trinity College. A culture of partnership between industry, academia and Government, is essential in promoting innovation and developing a skilled workforce, creating employment opportunities for qualified students into industry. I wish all involved the best of luck.”
Headquartered in Armonk, New York, IBM has been operating in Ireland since 1956 with over 2,500 staff primarily based in Dublin, Cork and Galway; including its IBM Research lab – the only one in the EU – and its pan-European Digital Sales Centre.
Deborah Threadgold, Country General Manager, IBM Ireland said: “IBM’s business has transformed repeatedly over the six-plus decades it’s been established in Ireland. Central to this ability to evolve and grow has been our capacity to attract highly skilled people, and their willingness to keep learning and developing. This innovative multi-year programme will provide the foundation for exciting developments in strategic and emerging technologies and support how we engage with our clients in their digital transformations.”
Commenting on the announcement Michael Lohan, CEO, IDA Ireland said: ‘’This new investment in training by IBM is most welcome news and is very much aligned to IDA Ireland’s Transformation pillar that is central to our current strategy. IBM’s commitment to Ireland over its long history here has played a significant role in the development of the technology and innovation ecosystem we have here today. I wish IBM every success with this multi-million-euro investment.”
Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics, and is being explored as a technology that could solve problems too complex for classical computers.
IBM is also making contributions to help advance Ireland’s quantum research and development capability, including collaborations with other research institutions, multinationals and indigenous companies through its community-driven outreach and IBM Quantum Network to help develop innovative use cases for quantum computing.
HMV will open its first store in Ireland for almost a decade with a return to Henry Street in Dublin. The new store will mark the opening of its first flagship outside the UK. The store is planned to be open by mid-July 2023.
Although it has 120 shops across the UK at present, this is the first foray into Ireland for hmv under its new owners – Doug Putman’s Sunrise Records and will take up the 18 Henry Street address.
The 6,000 square foot space, let from Irish Life, will play host to three floors of the latest pop culture merchandise and become a destination for lovers of music and music technology. It will also offer performance spaces to create the city’s latest live music venue, hosting shows and signings from some of the country’s biggest artists, alongside global stars.
The announcement of a return to Dublin represents the latest sign of a dramatic turnaround of the hmv business under Canadian owner Doug Putman, who first took the reins in 2019. Under his tenure, the business has evolved its concept to centre on a fan and community-orientated offer. Under its previous owners hmv was forced to finally shutter its last Irish stores in 2016.
Doug Putman said: “Our return to Ireland marks the culmination of the team’s hard work having established a new hmv shopping experience across the UK. We are now in a position to expand that concept into Europe.
“While fans will be able to get their hands on the latest and limited release vinyl and the hottest audio technology, truly indulging their love of music, they will also be able to express their passion for pop culture with ranges that can’t be found anywhere else in Dublin under one roof.
“We want Henry Street to become a home for a new community of fans to come together. What’s more, we hope that once we’ve got our feet back under the table in Ireland, further hmv shop openings will follow.”
Sarah Coyle, Irish Life Investment Managers, said: “We are delighted to partner with hmv on the opening of their new store and would like to welcome them back to Ireland. We are seeing very strong demand from tenants looking to locate in premier retail locations like 18 Henry Street, with footfall having bounced back strongly to pre-pandemic levels.”
hmv Dublin will offer fans a choice of over 15,000 different products and will include over 5,000 different vinyl albums and 5,500 different CDs. The shop will also stock over 3,000 pop culture products and 1,000 different t-shirt designs.
In the past year, hmv stores have welcomed artists such as Charli XCX, Stormzy, Shania Twain, Raye and Ellie Goulding for signings, and the Dublin shop is expected to draw names of similar quality. It’s also set to stage performances from up-and-coming acts through the hmv Live&Local programme which has been established to showcase local acts and give a platform for fresh talent.

Amazon Business Model
One of the key factors in optimizing your Amazon business is understanding and refining your business model. The Amazon marketplace offers various selling models, including wholesale, private label, retail arbitrage, and dropshipping. Wholesale involves purchasing products from manufacturers or distributors at a discounted rate and reselling them on Amazon for a profit. Private labeling allows you to create unique products under your brand name while utilizing third-party manufacturers. Retail arbitrage involves sourcing products from brick-and-mortar stores and reselling them on the platform. Dropshipping enables you to sell products without holding inventory by partnering with suppliers who ship directly to customers. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages, so it’s essential to evaluate which one aligns best with your goals and resources. Also, an amazon fba business model is also an option, which allows you to store and ship products directly from an Amazon warehouse. Keep in mind that as you grow your business, you may want to experiment with different models to maximize your profits.
Amazon Business Strategy
Amazon’s business strategy is focused on customer satisfaction, and they consistently strive to provide the best possible shopping experience.

They use advanced algorithms to monitor prices across the web and ensure that customers are getting the best deals. Additionally, they offer multiple shipping options such as same-day delivery or free two-day shipping for Prime members. Another important aspect of Amazon’s strategy is its robust product search engine. Customers can find products easily by searching for keywords or browsing through categories. This makes it easier for sellers to reach potential buyers with targeted ads.
Amazon Business Tips
Amazon is a giant in the world of e-commerce, and as such, it can be overwhelming for small businesses to make a mark. However, there are ways to optimize your Amazon business model that will help you stand out from the crowd. One important tip is to focus on customer reviews. Positive feedback can increase your visibility and credibility on Amazon’s platform. Encourage customers to leave honest reviews by following up with them after purchase and providing exceptional customer service. Another tip is to utilize Amazon’s advertising tools effectively. Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display ads can boost your product visibility and drive sales if used strategically. It’s also crucial to keep an eye on your competition by monitoring their pricing strategies, promotions, and keywords they use in their listings. This information can help you adjust your own strategy accordingly.
Amazon Business Tools
As an Amazon business owner, it’s important to have the right tools at your disposal to help you optimize and grow your business. Fortunately, Amazon offers a range of helpful tools that can make managing and growing your business easier. One such tool is the Amazon Seller App, which enables you to manage your inventory, track sales and respond to customer messages on the go. It’s free for all registered sellers and available for download on both iOS and Android devices. Another useful tool is the Amazon Advertising platform. This allows you to create targeted ad campaigns that will be displayed prominently in search results or across other areas of the site depending on what suits best your goals.
In addition, there are also third-party software solutions like Helium 10 that provide extensive features such as keyword research (Cerebro), and product listing optimization (Frankenstein) among many others which can give further insight into how you could optimize listings better than competitors while having different functions in one place.

By following the tips mentioned above, you can increase visibility, drive sales and build a strong brand presence on Amazon.

Sadly, economic downturns have become part of our reality, especially in today’s dynamic global economy. In the USA only, there have been 11 recessions since 1948, an average of one every six years. This is without adding the time the recession lasted and how long it took for businesses to recover.
Whether it’s a recession, financial crisis, inflation or market crash, economic downturns profoundly impact businesses of all sizes. Companies that can weather the challenges or even stay ahead of them are the ones that will be left standing once the storm passes. These companies choose a proactive approach and take necessary steps to protect their business, ensuring they mitigate the losses and even capitalise on opportunities.
The impact of economic downturns
We all know how damaging the recession can be. Just remember the “Great Recession” of 2008 that affected the markets globally and resulted in the loss of more than $2 trillion in economic growth. The aftermath lasted for years after the recession ended, with individuals and businesses taking a long road towards recovery.
Economic downturns can significantly impact business markets, with hardly any industry being recession-proof. Even if the recession does not directly affect the company, it is still susceptible to its consequences. From market volatility and changes in industry trends to a decrease in customer spending, the ripple effects of the recession can damage a business that hasn’t taken preventive measures.
Recession or even just the fear of economic downturns can also result in reduced online security, especially with small or new businesses. They are already working with a lower budget, and with the pressure to save costs, they might reduce or even cut departments they determine are non-essential. Bigger businesses are also not immune to this; they could develop a false sense of security and actually downsize the teams responsible for their online safety. This gives fraudsters a better chance of exploiting unsuspecting companies, especially considering that fraud is one of the rare recession-proof industries. According to SEON, during the recession in 2009, the FBI experienced an increase of 22.3% in online crime complaints. With the 2020 recession, that number went even higher, with a 69.4% increase compared to the previous year.
What can you do to protect your business during economic downturns?
The truth is that your business doesn’t have to suffer during the recession. If you take the proper steps, you can not only survive it but also grow your business. AdRoll explained that many businesses have grown during economic downturns, from Netflix and Starbucks to Airbnb and Amazon. Start taking proactive measures instead of just reacting to the situation, and you can join the greats that came out even stronger.
Customers should always be your priority.
Recession often results in customers tightening their belts, and you want to ensure they don’t do it with your business. Customers make or break your business, which is why 64% of Irish organisations consider customer service as their revenue generator. By constantly trying to improve the customer journey, satisfying their needs, and continuously providing the best value for their money, you will create loyal customers that will stay with you during the difficult time. Staying informed about market conditions and trends can help you make informed decisions about future projects and stay ahead of the competition.
Create an action plan before anything happens.
You don’t want to be caught off guard and struggle with keeping your business alive. Create a step-by-step plan for dealing with every element of your business, such as overhead costs, marketing or even employee appreciation. Developing an action plan that clarifies what can be done during the crisis or even before will minimise your stress and help you stay ahead of your competitors. Separate the plan by levels of seriousness, such as easy trimming, serious changes and drastic cuts. This allows you to make informed decisions quickly while avoiding making unnecessary mistakes due to stress and haste.
Operate within your budget.
This tip doesn’t apply only for recession times, but always. You want to avoid being settled with unnecessary debt, which puts your business in an ungrateful position, especially if something unexpected happens. Determine your budget and operate within your limitations while reducing unnecessary costs, for example, by renegotiating contracts with your suppliers or utility providers. Just be mindful not to damage your business by cutting back on departments that keep your company going, such as marketing or security.
Diversify your offer
Try to determine the steps you can take to expand your business and attract a more diverse set of customers. From digitizing your company or building an online presence to offering new products or even just expanding on your current offer, this is essential for staying relevant in today’s busy market. If you accomplish this without making a significant investment or using existing infrastructure, you will already be ahead of your competitors.
Conclusion
Economic downturns happen more often than people think, which is why preparing your business for it is essential, especially in today’s volatile economic landscape. By taking a proactive approach, you can mitigate the losses and maybe even discover new opportunities. Through building long-lasting relationships with your customers, strategic planning, risk management and diversification, your business will be able to navigate economic downturns more effectively. The worst thing for your business would be to wait for something to happen before you react. Be prepared, be proactive and protect your business.

Analog Devices, Inc. a global semiconductor leader, today announced a new €630 million investment at its European regional headquarters in the Raheen Business Park in Limerick, Ireland. The investment enables the construction of a new, state-of-the-art, 45,000 sq-ft Research & Development and manufacturing facility.
The new facility will support ADI’s development of next-generation signal processing innovations designed to accelerate the digital transformation of Industrial, Automotive, Healthcare, and other sectors. It is expected to triple ADI’s European wafer production capacity and aligns with the company’s goal of doubling its internal manufacturing capacity to enhance the resiliency of its global supply chain and better serve customer needs. This investment is expected to grow ADI’s employment footprint in the mid-west region of Ireland by 600 new positions, a significant increase to ADI’s current 1,500 employees in Ireland and 3,100 employees in Europe as a whole.
Today’s announcement comes a year after ADI announced a separate investment of €100 million in ADI Catalyst, its 100,000 sq-ft custom-built facility for innovation and collaboration at its Limerick campus. Ireland is also home to ADI’s main European Research and Development Center, which has generated more than 1,000 patents since its inception and has seeded ADI R&D sites throughout Europe in Spain, Italy, UK, Romania, and Germany.
“Since 1976, Ireland has been a critical innovation center for ADI, thanks to its strong academic and research organizations, business ecosystem, and progressive government leadership,”said ADI CEO and Chair Vincent Roche. “This next-generation semiconductor manufacturing facility and expanded R&D team will further extend ADI Limerick’s global influence. Through organic R&D and close collaboration with our customers and ecosystem partners, we are striving to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges and enable a more efficient, safer, and sustainable future.”
The new investment is planned as part of a collaboration within the European Union’s Important Projects of Common European Interest on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies (IPCEI ME/CT) initiative, and will support cross-border collaborative research. ADI’s IPCEI application – Ireland’s first since the inception of the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) initiative – is subject to final approval from the European Commission, and is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.
An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar TD said: “This is a really significant announcement for Limerick and the Mid-West region, which marks a new chapter in the longstanding relationship between ADI and Ireland. This massive €630 million investment is great news for local employment with lots of jobs being created during the construction phase, and 600 high-end graduate jobs. It means a significant expansion in the size and scale of ADI’s research, innovation, and development, leading to new, highly innovative products. This investment is further evidence of the Government’s commitment to bringing jobs to the Mid-West. Most IDA jobs created in recent years have been outside of Dublin, and Limerick has done particularly well with its deep talent pool, universities, airport, and infrastructure. This investment will also mean lots of spin-off jobs and contracts for local SMEs and Irish-owned businesses. ADI’s investment is part of Ireland’s commitment to develop Important Projects of Common European Interest, IPCEIs, and will contribute to Europe’s broader microelectronics sector. The future is digital. There can be no such future without microchips and it’s great that Ireland is such an important player in the supply chain.”
Minister for Enterprise Trade & Employment Simon Coveney said: “This is a much welcome announcement from Analog Devices and a great vote of confidence in Limerick and the Mid-West. It’s also noteworthy that it’s the latest in a series of major job announcements outside of Dublin. I’m struck not only by the scale of the investment, but also the high quality positions that will result. I’ll be visiting Analog Devices in Boston during a trade mission this week where we’ll be looking forward to many more years of doing business in Ireland.”
IDA Ireland CEO Michael Lohan said: “The technology that ADI will develop at this facility in Limerick is at the very forefront of innovation and has the potential to revolutionise the lives of billions of people across the world. This investment by ADI is intended to strengthen our supply chain resilience for advanced semiconductor processes. We wish continued success to ADI and look forward to our continued partnership. This is a transformational investment for the Limerick site, for the Mid-West region, and for the semiconductor industry in Ireland. IDA Ireland is committed to supporting investments of scale that impact positively on Europe’s semiconductor industry.”

SHEIN, a global e-retailer of fashion, beauty and lifestyle products, has officially launched its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) headquarters, based in Dublin City Centre, Ireland. The Dublin office will host SHEIN’s strategic IT hub for EMEA and will function as the heart of SHEIN’s operations in the region, building on our
commitment to local economies, communities and consumers.
The opening ceremony was joined by Ireland’s Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Simon Coveney, where he met with SHEIN’s Global Head of Government Relations, Leonard Lin, and other company leaders to discuss SHEIN’s strategy in Ireland. This included discussing the growth of SHEIN’s workforce in Dublin, to fill roles in data analytics, security engineering, finance management and legal, as well as expanding SHEIN’s graduate program in Ireland. SHEIN aims to fill 30 key roles in the Ireland office by end 2023, with a view to increase that number as the company grows.
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney TD said: “I warmly welcome the announcement that SHEIN has launched their new EMEA Headquarters and IT hub in Dublin, creating 30 new jobs in 2023. These positions will be in a range of specialist areas and no doubt SHEIN will have no problem filling these rolls from our skilled workforce. It is a vote of confidence that another global leader has chosen Ireland to launch their EMEA HQ and highlights that we have the environment to attract FDI companies to our shores. I wish all the team at SHEIN the very best in their new Dublin office and ventures.”
As part of SHEIN’s efforts to empower local entrepreneurs, SHEIN’s in-house fashion incubator programme, SHEIN X, has collaborated with 390 designers and artists across EMEA since its launch in January 2021, supporting them in their aspirations of launching a fashion collection by providing them with the knowledge, experience, network and global sales channel, so that they can focus on what they do best – create. SHEIN aims to continue to grow this number in the coming years.
In 2023, SHEIN plans to host around 30 pop-ups around the EMEA region, with the next Ireland pop-up happening from May 12 to 17, 2023, at the exciting Opera Lane, in Cork. Last year, SHEIN’s pop-up at Jervis Shopping Centre, Dublin, attracted over 4,000 visitors per day. These pop-ups form an integral part of the SHEIN business model, allowing consumers to experience products first-hand as well as allowing the brand to engage with consumers.
SHEIN’s nearshoring strategy has also seen three new distribution centres opening across EMEA in 2022, including a 40,000m2 distribution hub in Wroclaw, Poland, as well as centres in Italy and the United Arab Emirates, growing its nearshoring bases in EMEA to eight. By nearshoring its distribution hubs, SHEIN aims to improve the speed of fulfilment in the region. Both initiatives are prime examples of SHEIN’s dedication to offering the best customer service and experience for consumers in EMEA.
As part of SHEIN’s social impact efforts, SHEIN has made monetary donations and donationsin-kind, in the form of apparel, household items and home decorations, to various women’s and children’s charities across EMEA. These include Irish charities and NGOs such as The Marie
Keating Foundation and The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Ireland, which support causes that are aligned with SHEIN’s social impact focus areas.
Said Leonard Lin, Global Head of Government Relations for SHEIN, “I am delighted to launch our EMEA headquarters in Ireland. Ireland’s pro-business environment and great access to talent make it an excellent hub for companies, including SHEIN, to manage and grow our business in the region. Our Dublin office opening marks an important milestone in SHEIN’s growth in EMEA – which is one of our most important markets. We look forward to contributing to the growth of the local economies and to supporting local communities.”
Michael Lohan, CEO, IDA Ireland said: “The arrival of SHEIN in Dublin is a welcome addition to Ireland’s IT sector along with their plans to hire 30 people by the end of 2023. Ireland is an ideal location in terms of talent and experienced resources from which SHEIN can grow and expand their offering in Europe. I wish them great success here.”
