5 minutes

This past weekend, Rory McIlroy brought the green jacket back to Northern Ireland,  a proud moment on the global stage. But while the world cheered his victory at Augusta, another success story from Northern Ireland continues to grow: technology. At MCS Group, with our headquarters in Northern Ireland and operations across the U.S., we help American companies tap directly into one of the most dynamic, high-performing tech talent pools in the world.

Elite Talent, Global Mindset

From Belfast to Derry, Northern Ireland is producing exceptional engineers, data scientists, cybersecurity specialists, and cloud experts. This isn’t just about cost-efficiency it’s about quality, performance, and innovation. For example:

  • Belfast is ranked among the top 10 tech cities in the UK.
  • 2,200+ tech companies are already thriving in the region.
  • Belfast is a recognized global hub for cybersecurity excellence.

U.S. companies from high-growth startups to enterprise leaders are discovering that Northern Irish talent brings both technical skill and commercial acumen.
