As a long term partner of the Renewable Energy
Sector, AIB would welcome the opportunity to share
our knowledge and guidance with any prospective
companies looking to expand in this area.
The usual lead time to bring a foreign direct
investment from conception to fruition is
somewhere in the region of three years. At what
point in the process would the FDI team engage
a prospective client?
A:
We are very happy to engage with
prospective FDI clients at any point in the process.
As we are already travelling extensively worldwide,
meeting existing FDI clients face to face, we are
always happy to vist prospective clients in their home
country. In some instances we meet prospective
FDI clients when they are a very early stage in their
decision making process and perhaps looking at a
number of countries. I believe that every FDI service
provider in Ireland, from banks, to accountants and
lawyers, have a role to play in supporting the work
of the IDA in selling Ireland Inc. It’s important that
we all provide a consistent message regarding the
ease of doing business in Ireland. We will of course
make introductions to other FDI service providers if
required by the client, and once they decide to bank
with AIB we provide a streamlined implementation
process to ensure all accounts are opened and services
provided in a minimal timeframe and with minimum
effort. We are also happy to facilitate any banking
requirements for FDI company employees moving to
Ireland and the corporate Relationship Manager can
