Squarespace, the leading all-in-one website publishing platform, has announced its plans to establish its EMEA Headquarters in Dublin along with the creation of 100 new jobs. The initiative is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation through IDA Ireland, the government agency responsible for the attraction and development of foreign investment in Ireland.

Squarespace is a website publishing platform that allows anyone to easily create professional blogs, web pages, stores, and galleries without touching a line of code. The  service provides hosting, content management, domain names, social integrations, e-commerce, and 24-hour customer support. The Squarespace operation in central Dublin will serve Squarespace customers around the globe and will include a variety of customer care roles.

The decision by Squarespace to base its headquarters in Dublin is a signal of Ireland’s growing reputation as the high tech capital of Europe. This means great opportunities for our bright, highly-skilled workforce, and the Government is working to attract further investment through its Action Plan for Jobs. The Government is determined to foster a supportive and flexible enterprise environment so that Ireland’s digital economy can continue to grow. Research from Sean O’Sullivan and OpenIreland shows an additional four spin-off jobs will be created for each of those tech jobs, here in Dublin. And if that happens, that will be a major additional boost.

ICT is a key sector targeted as part of the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs, and in the two years since this Government came into office over 11,000 additional people work in this sector.
