Tyndall boost as 100 jobs announced

100 new jobs are coming on stream to Tyndall as it begins new research projects. Tyndall’s recent successes in securing multi-million euro funding from EU programmes and international industry, as well as significant competitively won national funding awards, is driving growth at the institute with recruitment of up to 100 new research posts in the coming year.

Tyndall said that it continues to build on its success as an internationally leading technology innovation hub, and as a key driver of new technology and talent development for Irish industry.

This is, it said, reflected strongly by the acquisitions of its start-up companies in the past two years – InfiniLED by Facebook and SensL Technologies by ON-Semiconductor.

In addition to its current staff expansion, Tyndall is also advancing plans to substantially expand the footprint of the institute, which has been highlighted as an investment priority within the Government’s Project Ireland 2040 in order to maintain its position as a leading centre of scale in transnational research and continued development of ICT-related innovation in Ireland.

Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys visited Tyndall National Institute yesterday to see first-hand the four Disruptive Technology Innovation Fund (DTIF) projects worth over €20 million that Tyndall and its partners will pursue over the next three years and to welcome other significant funding wins at one of Europe’s leading technology research Institutes.
