The creation and manufacturing of aerosol medicine delivery is Aerogen's area of expertise. In conjunction with the release of Enterprise Ireland's annual report, which highlights record employment levels at businesses the agency supports, details of the new positions will be revealed.

Overall employment numbers increased 3% over 2023 figures, with a net increase of 6,200 jobs at enterprises the agency supports last year. According to Enterprise Ireland, nearly two-thirds of the more than 234,000 employees that work for its client companies are situated outside of the city.

These businesses create over €30 billion in total export value annually. Among them is Aerogen, the biggest domestic producer of medical technology in the nation. From its modest origins as a butcher shop in Maigh Cuilinn in 1998, it has expanded to employ hundreds of people in 28 countries worldwide.

The business creates gadgets to make giving patients their medications easier. Over the next ten years, the business plans to invest €300 million on product development and biopharmaceutical expansion.

As a result, between now and 2035, 725 jobs will be created in Galway and Shannon. The ongoing growth of these enterprises, according to Enterprise Ireland, demonstrates the significant contribution Irish-owned, internationally orientated businesses make to economic expansion.

In 2024, employment grew in all three of its main economic sectors: technology and services, industrial and life sciences, and food and sustainability, according to CEO Leo Clancy.

Although the agency-backed enterprises created 15,741 jobs last year, the net increase was 6,212 when job losses at other companies were taken into account.

According to Mr. Clancy, the outcomes provide a solid foundation for enhancing the nation's business potential in the upcoming years.

"2024 marks the final year of Enterprise Ireland's three-year strategy 'Leading in a Changing World’ and we can confirm that our client companies have overachieved on our key targets to create 45,000 new jobs by 2024 and increase exports to €30 billion," stated Leo Clancy.

He pointed out that Enterprise Ireland funded 479 start-up enterprises, an increase of more than 20% over the previous three years, and that two-thirds of the employment created during the three-year period were outside of Dublin.
