The Intel Ireland campus located at Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare, is one of Intel's largest manufacturing facilities and there are currently more than 4,000 people working at the site.

Intel first decided to locate a technology campus in Ireland in 1989, and production of motherboards and systems commenced in the following year.

Since then, Intel has invested over €6 billion in turning the 360-acre former stud farm into the most technologically advanced industrial location in Europe.

Our Leixlip campus is the location of the Fab 10 and Fab 24 semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities.

Fab 10, a 200mm facility, is currently equipped to produce high-mix low-volume products—three times more individual products than any other Intel 200mm facility worldwide. The Fab 24 facility produces 300mm wafers on multiple process technologies and is one of Intel's most technologically advanced, high-volume manufacturing plants in the world. These facilities produce the latest generation silicon microprocessors that power platforms and technology advancements which are essential to the way we learn, live and work today.

The core advanced manufacturing capability at our Leixlip site is a key enabler for numerous research and development initiatives. At Intel Ireland, there is a team of employees involved in Silicon Nanoelectronics Research. The team collaborates extensively with research institutes such as the CRANN Nanoscience Research Centre in Trinity College Dublin and the Tyndall National Research Institute in Cork. The team also collaborates with universities, other companies from across Ireland and Europe, and with the more than 50 PhD students (co-funded by Intel).

The campus is also home to other Intel businesses including the Innovation Open Lab - Ireland (IOL). The IOL has global responsibility to research and develop innovative leading-edge IT solutions and technology. The IOL is at the forefront of demonstrating how information technology and Intel products can continue to deliver new competitive advantage.

The IOL is part of Intel Labs Europe (ILE) which has the goal of expanding the scope of Intel's European R&D activities. ILE coordinates innovation activity and future investments against an innovation agenda focused on enabling a digital Europe. A focused research agenda includes areas such as advanced microprocessor research, high-performance computing, enterprise solutions and green computing.

Another area of Intel Ireland research is that of the Technology Research for Independent Living (TRIL) Centre. TRIL is an international research centre set up to define and profile the ageing process, in order to develop technologies to allow more successful ageing. Founded in 2007, it has succeeded in raising the agenda for ageing research both nationally and internationally. TRIL is a collaboration between Intel, GE* Healthcare, University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin and National University of Ireland, Galway. TRIL seeks to enable people to live independently at any age by advancing the understanding of behavioral markers of disease, and how technology can be applied to produce positive interventions.

Corporate responsibility at Intel Ireland reflects our deep respect for people and for the communities around us at both a local and national level. This means listening to, learning from, and communicating openly with all of our stakeholders. Intel Ireland employees are deeply involved in a number of activities and programs with local communities and are committed to making positive contributions to them.
