The South West Region consists of 2 counties, Cork and Kerry. The South-West has a dynamic and broad enterprise sector with predominance in Pharmaceuticals, ICT (hardware and services) and Food, and significant potential in tourism, medical devices, other internationally traded services and maritime related activities focused primarily on Cork Harbour.

The recently published South West Regional Action Plan for regional development which was launched on the 3rd of July will provide a structure for all the stakeholders in each region to work together to support the creation of extra jobs in the region through the delivery of over 250 collaborative actions focusing on increasing the number of start-ups, developing the existing capacity of existing enterprises and capitalising on the strengths and opportunities of the region.

The total number of jobs (including full time, part time and temporary), created by both IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland, in their client companies in County Cork, for each of the last four years, is set out in the following table.
