Bell Labs is set to make a significant announcement concerning its R&D centre in Dublin this morning.
The Tanaiste Mary Coughlan TD is travelling to Bell Labs’ R&D centre in the Blanchardstown Industrial Estate in Co Dublin to make the announcement at around 10am today.
It is expected that as many as 70 new jobs will be created at the Dublin centre as part of a multimillion euro, five-year programme.
It is thought the new posts will all be technology R&D-focused and the focus of the research will centre on Bell Labs’ Open Innovation structure and will include a focus on Alcatel-Lucent’s ‘Green Touch’ strategy, an initiative aimed at improving communications networks' energy efficiency.
In 2004, Bell Labs, the research division of the French telecommunications company Alcatel-Lucent, unveiled plans to invest €69m in a new research and development (R&D) headquarters focusing on telecoms and supply chain technologies in Blanchardstown.
The investment also included the establishment of a Centre for Telecommunications Value Chain-Driven Research (CTVR) at Trinity College Dublin.
