(InfoWorld) - IBM launched its European Venture Capital Center in Dublin, the first such center outside of the company's corporate offices in Menlo Park, California. The center will be a place where IBM helps unite European startup companies with venture-capital firms and also where IBM can share some of its experiences with startups. Often small companies have found investors but lack the expertise to globalize and scale their offerings, said Nick Donofrio, IBM's executive vice president for innovation and technology, speaking during a press conference in Dublin. "We have those skills," he said. IBM will share such expertise with startups that participate in the center through events including subject-specific round tables or large conferences, such as one that IBM held in New York last week. Encouraging the success of emerging businesses ensures that IBM has strong partners to add to its ecosystem into the future, he said. IBM does not intend to invest in any of the participating companies directly but could in rare cases consider buying a company that might be developing technology fundamental to IBM's business, Donofrio said. IBM chose to place the center in Ireland in part due to its 50 year history in the country but also because of other factors that make it an ideal location. Ireland has a strong academic environment, government support for emerging technology companies, a culture of entrepreneurship and a presence of many global companies, said Deborah Magid, director of strategic alliances, software strategy for IBM Venture Capital Group. She couldn't say how many people the new center might employ but added that existing IBM staff would likely contribute to the center's efforts. IBM is alsoÂ opening an Innovation CenterÂ in Dublin, aimed at helping local software developers test and build products. In July,Â IBM said it was investingÂ â¬46 million ($59 million) and hiring 300 workers in Dublin. The new Venture Capital Center and Innovation Center are part of that ongoing investment.

(InfoWorld) - Cisco Systems Inc. will open a research center in Ireland to develop unified communications products. The office, announced on Tuesday and to be located in the western city of Galway, will initially employ 50 researchers but is expected to grow to 200 positions in the next three years. The researchers will build new unified communications applications and services, which allow workers to have a single point of access where they can be contacted via a variety of methods such as e-mail, voice mail, VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol), instant messaging and video. Cisco also plans to consider opportunities for collaborative research with industry and academic organizations in Ireland. Cisco currently employs 66 people in local sales and support in Ireland. The networking giant said it is expanding its investment in development around the world in order to be responsive to customer needs. Ireland's available talent pool and positive business climate attracted the company. Ireland's corporate tax rate, the lowest in Europe and among the lowest in the world, began attracting significant numbers of overseas companies about 20 years ago. Since then, other costs, such as energy and salaries, have risen dramatically in Ireland. As a result, the government has begun pursuing research and development investments, like Cisco's, which tend to be less reliant on extremely low operational costs and more focused on available talent than other types of operations, such as manufacturing. Ireland's Industrial Development Agency (IDA), a government body tasked with recruiting overseas companies to Ireland, said it has been courting Cisco for some time. The IDA often offers multimillion euro incentives to companies that choose to open up operations in the country. The agency said it supported the opening of the new center but it did not reveal how much it may have offered Cisco as incentive. The trend toward unified communications is growing as an increasing number of networks support IP. Earlier this year, Cisco began bundling a variety of its products related to voice, e-mail, text, videoconferencing and collaboration under a new Unified Communications System brand. Cisco also recently bought Metreos Corp. and Audium Corp. to make it easier for enterprise developers to integrate applications in the Unified Communications System. Cisco has competition in the space. Microsoft Corp. and Nortel Networks Corp. recently formed an alliance to develop unified communications technologies to enterprise customers.
