Sidetrade Opens New Dublin Office

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, along with Sidetrade's CEO Olivier Novasque, has officially opened Sidetrade's new office in Dublin, with the creation of 90 skilled roles over two years.

Sidetrade has set up this new pan-European platform to bolster its capacity to service worldwide customers as well as to support its business operation in Europe.

"Our aim is to get closer to our clients in terms of culture and time zones while offering the convenience of multilingual support," said Olivier Novasque, CEO at Sidetrade Group.

The investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, through IDA Ireland.

"Dublin is a fantastic hub for technology and innovation, which are Sidetrade's main pillars. Dublin and Ireland hosts a wealth of candidates especially within the multilingual sectors, who are well educated and motivated to succeed in their careers.

"The IDA team was a significant value-add in our development in Ireland and have been valuable partners in helping Sidetrade establish this pan European platform," explained Olivier Novasque, CEO at Sidetrade Group.

Minister Bruton said: "A key part of our plan to attract multinational investment is to pursue opportunities outside of our strongest market in the USA. We have put extra IDA staff in growth markets and increased the number of trade missions to allow us to include new destinations.

"Today's announcement that Sidetrade, a leading French software company, is opening a new office in Dublin with the creation of 90 jobs is a great boost for this strategy. I wish Olivier and his team every success with their operation here, and look forward to working closely with them as they expand their employment here."
