Galway Technology Centre, which provides office space for growing companies, is to expand in a move that it claims could lead to a sharp rise in jobs for the region. Owned by Galway Chamber and WestBIC, which supports companies operating in the Border, Midlands and West regions, the centre is also backed by Enterprise Ireland. The centre forecasts that expansion will lead to 828 new jobs and €62.4 million investment per annum by year five. “The AcademyWest expansion represents a significant new phase in the life of Galway Technology Centre. It will drive substantial employment growth, while expanding the technology cluster and knowledge economy throughout Galway and the west over the coming years,” said Noreen Conway, acting manager of the centre.
