Fast Facts: The Site
Intel Ireland's Leixlip campus, located in County Kildare, began operations in 1989. Since then, Intel has invested over EUR 6 billion in turning the 360-acre former
stud farm into the most technologically advanced industrial location in Europe.
Our semiconductor wafer fabrication facility produces the latest generation silicon microprocessors that power platforms and technology advancements which are essential to the
way we learn, live and work today.
The advanced manufacturing capability at our Leixlip site is a key enabler for numerous R&D initiatives.
- The Health Research and Innovation team Europe (HRIe) is focused on understanding
ageing and how technology can be used to help older people remain independent. HRIe's work includes collaboration with the Technology Research for Independent Living (TRIL) Centre.
- Our team that focuses on Silicon Nanoelectronics Research 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 more than 50 PhD students (co-funded by Intel).
- Our Innovation Open Lab (IOL) has global responsibility to research and develop innovative 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.
- Intel Labs Europe (ILE), a part of IOL, coordinates innovation activity and future investments against
