New Kochava Office in Dublin
This fall, Kochava will open its European headquarters in the heart of Dublin, a location selected for its strong tech ties and high quality of life for employees. Following the June Brexit decision, Dublin is the sole remaining English-speaking capital in the European Union, where according to IDA Ireland, tech companies already employ more than 80,000 people. Tech giants from Amazon, Facebook, and Google, to Airbnb, eBay, and Twitter, already have European headquarters in Dublin, near the city’s “Silicon Docks,” and a neighborhood called “Googletown” where Google’s large campus is located.
“Kochava has found a perfect fit for our new European headquarters in Dublin,” says Kochava CEO, Charles Manning. “With a young, tech-savvy population of native English-speakers and the lowest corporate tax in Western Europe, Dublin presents an attractive mix of talent and government support, along with progressive licensing policies for intellectual property rights and R&D tax credits. Combine these factors with the concentrated IT ecosystem gathered in Dublin and it’s clear to see that a tech utopia is being built. Kochava is excited to become a contributing member of the European tech hub that is Dublin.”
